Solar panel parameters monitoring using ESP WROOM 32 and Blynk

One of the challenges of unsatisfactory performance of solar powered equipment in Nigeria is the importation of substandard solar panels which in turns give rise to improper rating of the solar panels. Some of the equipment manufacturers are known for labeling the solar panels with arbitrary ratings in other to sell and make profit. Since the solar powered equipment depends on the Sun for its energy, there is need to monitor and measure the solar panel parameters like voltage, current, light intensity and temperature. This is necessary to confirm if the solar panel is performing to expectation and giving good readings. This work aims at developing a Solar Energy Measurement System that will aid in the measurement and monitoring of solar panel parameters like voltage, current, light intensity and temperature. The design work is divided into two main parts, hardware and software sections. The hardware involves the development of major units like the power.
