Elegant method to improve the efficiency of remotely located solar panels using IoT

For a clean energy source, renewable energy plays a vital role. Biomass, wind energy and solar energy used to power up the cities and large scale industries. It shows there is a gap between the generation of power and usage. Solar panel based energy generation system is familiar in many countries over a year. The adjustment of photo voltaic cell to the inclination angle of the sun is a major crisis. The sun sets an angular movement throughout the day. From dawn to set, we calculate the position of the sun. So that automatic panel adjustment can be made to increase the efficiency of the panel on generations. Another factor to note is the efficiency of the panel depends on the deposition of dust particles. The performance of the panel can improve with automatic cleaning. Internet of things devices that can sense the dust deposition on the panel and it is cleans them in a semi- automated system. With the electrostatic precipitator methodology the solar cells are isolated. The power deployment found in many countries and globally enormous demand for energy arise in this era. With the smart meter installed wecan control the energy lost and miss handled. This paper describes about positioning of the panel and removal of dust particles and a smarter way to identify the energy lost. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd.2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
