Diseño e implementación de una red de sensores para el monitoreo de los niveles de radiación solar en la ciudad de Loja

The present investigation focused on the design and implementation of a system for monitoring solar radiation levels in Loja, Ecuador. The solar radiation levels monitoring system is based on developing a sensor network where the two ultraviolet (UV) sensors represent the network nodes. The sensors are wired and wireless to the base station, which means the network's core, where data processing, acquisition, and management are performed. The base station manages the data collected by the UV sensors. These data are linked to an application for mobile phones with the Android operating system. In the application, you can visualize the level of solar radiation in real-time, the history of the data, and the respective preventions, according to the level of the ultraviolet index (IUV) presented. In turn, the implementation of a solar light was included for direct visualization of solar radiation levels.
