Smart Solar Energy Management to Power Computer Lab in Rural Areas

An isolated solar PV system is a reliable solution to providing electricity in rural and remote locations. Such systems require an array of PV panels, charge controllers, battery bank to compensate the supply & demand mismatch. The paper presents an evaluation of stand-alone photovoltaics (PV) system installed on the roof of EN Dept. building, KIET Group of Institutions, Ghaziabad. The experimental data was recorded for month of August 2018 through IoT. This project aims to encourage the use of small stand-alone solar PV system to supply power to laboratories in rural areas & remote locations. In this project we also develop a cost-effective energy management solution for data logging & monitoring is done by Wi-Fi based Internet of things (IoT) system that can be accessed from anywhere.
