Design of solar container information monitoring platform

This paper aims to present a cost-effective and open source internet of things solution that could collect in intelligent manner and monitor in real-time the produced power and environmental conditions of solar stations. Solar container systems require constant monitoring and control to ensure optimal performance, safety, and efficiency. This paper proposes an Intelligent Monitoring System (IMS) for Photovoltaic (PV) systems using affordable and cost-efficient hardware and also lightweight software that is capable of being easily implemented in different locations and having the capability to be installed in different types of PV. Solar energy, being a sustainable and vast source of renewable energy, is gaining immense popularity. It can collect parameters such as the temperature in the refrigerated container and the.
