Abstract

This research aims to design and implement an Internet of Things (IoT)-based monitoring system for Photovoltaic (PV) panels using Node-RED. The system can monitor critical parameters such as voltage, current, power, and the electrical energy produced by the PV panels in real-time. The data obtained from the PV panels is sent to a Node-RED server and visualized in the form of indicators and graphs on a dashboard. Statistical analysis calculates the daily average power and total energy produced. The results show that the proposed system can enhance monitoring efficiency and significantly benefit PV system maintenance and management. Users can quickly identify and address issues that may arise, such as panel performance degradation or system disruptions. Energy analysis and maintenance planning can be carried out by collecting historical data. This research supports the broader renewable energy development and provides an effective real-time PV system monitoring solution.
