Parameter Monitoring and Logging of a Thermo-Electric Hybrid Solar System

This work presents the monitoring and logging of parameters of a solar system. The solar system is used to generate current and heat up water. Gathering and monitoring data can be always beneficial to any system, since upon a failure, an immediate remedy can be done. If using a reaction loop, it can react if the parameters of the system are out of limits. The presented system has 23 parameters monitored, like temperatures, pressures, flows and irradiance. There are 8 sensors systems; some of them can measure up to 4 temperatures. Most of the sensors are connected via RS-485 industrial serial bus.
