Finally, a web interface is done to cool the solar panel with water pumping through the tubes below the panel.

摘要

Currently, IoT rules many unmanned applications to improve supervision and productivity. The proposed work concentrates on the need for a cooling system for solar Photovoltaic (PV) panels to enhance its efficiency. An increase in temperature will reduce the efficiency of the solar panel. The cooling system should be monitored, automated, and controlled without human intervention. This is achieved by developing a web App by which the cooling system can be controlled automatically. DHT11–Temperature and Humidity Sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the panel. If the module temperature increases more than 35–60 °C, the sensor sends the signal to the actuator to cool the PV panel, which will increase the output power. This technique is proposed for solar rooftop home applications where the gray water can be treated and used for cooling the solar panel rather than using fresh, clean water. Finally, a web interface is done to cool the solar panel with water pumping through the tubes below the panel.
