Abstract

A Photovoltaic array monitoring system with wireless sensors are integrated to the PV modules and transfer the status statistics to monitoring field. These sensors are employed for fault detection and observe misbehavior of the cells. In this work we are focusing on voltage, current, irradiance and temperature of individual photovoltaic array and its parameters are studied along with transfer of data’s to the controlling unit. The lab view and aurdino boards are used for the development of storing and displaying along with controlling data received from wireless sensor. These received information are used to study the array conditions including fault finding, shades on the panel, loading.

Keywords: aurdino board stepper motor dual axis tracker pv module self-cleaning
