Smart Monitoring of e-Wakaf Solar System, FKEE UTHM using IoT

Abstract

Solar energy is widely available throughout the world and can contribute to minimize the dependence on energy imports. In 90 minutes, sufficient sunlight strikes the earth to supply the energy needs 2of the whole planet for a year. A Solar Energy does not produce greenhouse gas (GHG) during operation and does not emit other pollutants. A Solar has many advantages, such as system-friendly deployment, improved operating strategies, advanced renewable energy forecasting and improved power plant scheduling. Additionally the solar energy is a flexible resources, including demand-side resources, electricity storage, grid infrastructure and flexible generation [1]. The photovoltaic panel (PV) consists of a series of photovoltaic cells mounted to convert solar radiation into electrical energy through a photoelectric effect. The Photovoltaic cells are made from silicon and extracted from the quartzite gravel raw material. In order to obtain silicon dioxide, the quartz is crushed during the process and the raw materials must be processed significantly before Photovoltaic cells can be made [2].
