Online multi-parameters electronic monitoring system for solar photovoltaic panel applications

摘要

Gained power from the photovoltaic solar panel is a main factor reflects the panel performance. This factor is affected by many parameters. Dust density, light intensity as well as ambient temperature have direct effect on the panel performance. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of the mentioned parameters on panel effectiveness through designing and implementing a simple and easy use electronic monitoring system. The system offers continuous monitoring and measuring to the mentioned parameters in addition to the output power of the solar panel. The collected records are reflecting and confirming the matching of the changing in the environmental parameters with respect to the collected power. The records are representing an effective reference of work conditions of solar panels in the GCC region. System design and implementation in addition to the collected records, analysis and conclusion are presented in this paper.
