Real-Time Monitoring and Adaptive Control of Solar Panel Cooling for Enhanced Power Harvest Through IoT Integration

Year: 2024

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: With the growing demand for renewable energy, solar power's efficiency is hindered by environmental factors like temperature.This study explores real-time monitoring and adaptive control systems for cooling solar panels to enhance power harvest.Analyzing current cooling techniques, it highlights the limitations of passive methods and introduces IoT-based active cooling systems for continuous temperature monitoring.Using temperature, voltage, and current sensors, the system enables precise monitoring of panel performance.Experimental validation in real-world installations shows an approximately 9.39% improvement in power harvest efficiency, disregarding system power consumption.This study demonstrates the feasibility of real-time monitoring and adaptive control for enhancing solar panel efficiency, offering a scalable and flexible approach for sustainable energy generation through IoT integration.
