Solar plant monitoring system: A review

Abstract

The inspection of the solar panels on a periodic basis is important to improve longevity and ensure performance of the solar system. To get the most solar potential of the photovoltaic (PV) system is possible through an intelligent monitoring controlling system. The monitoring controlling system has rapidly increased its popularity because of its user friendly graphical interface for data acquisition, monitoring, controlling and measurements. In order to monitor the performance of the system especially for renewable energy source application such as solar photovoltaic (PV), data-acquisition systems had been used to collect all the data regarding the installed system. In this paper we have given a review on solar plant monitoring system in that we have covered architecture of solar plant, Issues at solar plants, Techniques that are used for monitoring solar plants.
