“Real-Time Fault Detection and Energy Analysis in Rooftop Solar Systems Using IOT and WSN”

Abstract - Rooftop solar panel deployment has expanded as a result of the rising reliance on renewable energy. Real-time monitoring solutions that are effective are necessary to guarantee their consistent performance. This study presents a smart monitoring system that tracks rooftop photovoltaic (PV) system performance by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT) and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN). To gather important operating information including voltage, current, temperature, and sun irradiance, the system uses a dispersed network of sensors. A centralized IoT platform receives these data wirelessly, processes them, and displays the results for users. The suggested approach improves system dependability and energy efficiency by facilitating remote access, real-time alarms, and data-driven maintenance choices. Widespread rooftop solar applications can benefit from WSN's scalability and low power usage. This strategy offers a workable and affordable way to raise the effectiveness and administration of solar energy systems in homes and businesses. keywords: IoT (Internet of Things), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSN), Rooftop Solar Panels, Smart Monitoring System, Photovoltaic (PV) Performance Tracking
