In order to meet the increasing energy demands, renewable energy sources are considered as the most dependable and suitable solution. Solar photovoltaic energy is one of the most potential renewable energy sources available today, with no carbon emissions. Solar energy is generated as a result of the atomic fusion reactions that occur at the sun's core. It represents all electromagnetic radiation (visible light, infrared, ultraviolet, X-rays, and radio waves). Recently, Solar panels are monitored by using an Internet of Things (IoT)-based system to gather and evaluate solar energy characteristics in order to ensure a reliable power output and performance. Based on its ability to evaluate peak performance (photovoltaic), one important advantage of the technology is enhanced solar PV system maintenance. PV monitoring systems intend to provide a low-cost solution by continuously presenting remote energy yields and performance on a computer or smart phone. Environmental conditions such as voltage, current, temperature, light intensity, and dust are measured and recorded by the IoT-based system. Furthermore, the Wireless monitoring system ensures the highest operational dependability of a PV system at a lowest system cost. Solar radiation may be converted into useful power using photovoltaic (PV) devices. The high initial cost is a significant obstacle to the wider adoption of solar energy systems. Monitoring and control systems are becoming more common as a way to optimize PV system performance and extend the usable life of connected equipment. Data collection, display, and archiving are all handled by the IoT system. The system's sophisticated features can also estimate and detect solar panel damage.
