Abstract :
In remote area, the need for monitoring PV system is crucial to ensure stable PV power delivery. This paper describes the hardware and software design for PV monitoring system in remote area. The monitoring system is equipped with voltage sensor, current sensor, temperature sensor and irradiation sensor and GSM modem for data transmission. Real time clock chip is used for real time recording. The designed system is built and has been applied on field and satisfactory results are obtained.
