Abstract Renewable energy sources are proven to be reliable and accepted as the best alternative for fulfilling our increasing energy needs. As technology is advancing, cost of renewable energy equipments is decreasing which has resulted in a massive increase in solar photovoltaic installations. Most of these installations act as auxiliary power source. A majority of these are installed in inaccessible locations – as close as a rooftop to as far away as a dessert. Hence, they require sophisticated systems for remote monitoring of these installations using wide area networks. The system described in this paper is capable of measuring the values of Solar PV voltage and current and temperature and sending them over on mobile networks to the internet for data logging and review by the user. In case of a deviation from normal specified values of current, voltage or temperature, the system is also capable of alerting the user via an IOT. The idea is to connect all sensors and devices on a common network i.e. internet through wired or wireless means so that the user can access the data and control the devices from anywhere around the globe with an internet connection. Along with this, the aim is to automate the process using pre-defined logic to reduce human intervention as much as possible. It has gained a lot of attention in recent years due to its diversified usage in the fields of consumer electronics, home automation, health care, smart car, smart city and security purposes. The Solar PV voltage is sensed by voltage divider circuit. Current is sensed using Hall Effect Current Sensor ACS712. The temperature and humidity is sensed using DHT11 temperature an sensor. A dedicated computer system is set up to store the data obtained for future reference and review. This data now can be viewed anywhere on the globe using an internet connection on an IP by an IoT module. As the conventional sources of electricity generation are depleting, mankind is in need of renewable sources such as solar and wind energy to sustain itself. Hence all we need is a good, up-to-date monitoring system which can perform major tasks automatically without human intervention and can provide data to the user whenever and wherever needed. IOT is the best solution for monitoring of solar installations. IOT based remote monitoring of the Solar PV installation will also save energy and man-labour.
