Abstract :
In this paper we have proposed a model which acts as a weather station and a rain detector and is solely solar powered. The model is designed in such a way that it can be used remotely and the readings are displayed on a user friendly LCD display and are displayed as digital numeric values. The weather station includes a remote station for monitoring the weather powered by a solar panel, and a base station to display data. The remote station includes sensors to measure temperature, relative humidity, rain and solar radiation level. The goal in system design is optimizing cost and power.
