Sustainability of Photovoltaic Materials and Smart Monitoring: Case Study in Morocco
摘要
In This study explores real-time monitoring of solar energy production via the Internet of Things (IoT), which allows for the continuous assessment and monitoring of the performance and degradation of photovoltaic materials in arid and semi-arid environments in Morocco. Analysis of the collected data, such as current, voltage, and power, highlights the influence of local climatic conditions (heat, dust, humidity) on the properties of semiconductor materials and, more specifically, encapsulate. This intelligent monitoring is an essential tool for better understanding material aging, optimizing maintenance, and guiding the choice of more resistant materials for arid or semi-arid environments. A Thing Speak platform processes the information measured by the sensors. This data, including voltage and current, is then sent in real time via a Wi-Fi module. To receive and visualize the data, we used the Thing Speak platform, which enables data to be accessed online from any location. The graphs generated showed a very satisfactory evolution of voltage, current and power parameters. The results obtained are very promising, and it has been found that our solution offers numerous advantages over traditional solutions, such as the ability to present data in graphical form. In this way, it can reduce the need for human interference in order to ensure that potential data reading-related problems from multiple devices, to reduce costs and minimize time. As a result, the suggested system can facilitate data acquisition and storage, as well as the creation and customization of re-ports that can be evaluated to improve the performance of solar power systems.
