Sensor Based Hotspot Detection And Isolation In Solar Array System Using IOT

This study presents a non-invasive technique for detecting localized heating and quantifying the area of hotspots, which are a potential cause of degradation in photovoltaic system. Solar system is affected by dust and that reduces energy and power, so that we used monitoring to make sure that the system is working efficiently. In order to safeguard the other components from any possible harm, the suggested system will also be able to isolate the hot regions from the rest of the system. This is accomplished by the use of a Temperature Sensor, a well-known non-destructive evaluation approach that enables contactless, real-time examination. The PIC Microcontroller, which controls the temperature of the Solar Panel via the motor that flows water over it. The NODE-MCU ESP8266 controller receives an input signal from the microcontroller and sends a message to the user's mobile device. The message is displayed to the user through the application or a website. The findings demonstrate the suggested technology's excellent accuracy in locating hotspots within a solar array system and isolating them.
