Development of an Embedded System for Monitoring a Solar Power Plant in the Amazon Region

The present work deals with the development of an embedded Internet of Things (IoT) system for monitoring the temperature of a photovoltaic system at different points, to enable the analysis of the efficiency of the solar system based on the thermal effect, considering the characteristics climate in the Amazon region. The module created was built and installed in a photovoltaic solar plant located at the Federal University of Para. For the analyses, the regions of interest for monitoring the panels were considered, which are: the surface of the generator module in contact with the sun; the shaded area of the panel and the ambient temperature. Satisfactory results were obtained regarding the operation of the embedded system, which proved to be ideal for monitoring solar panels due to the ease of updating, communication, and data visualization.
