This system enables the monitoring of solar panel performance through sensors for current, voltage, and temperature, connected to a central controller for real-time supervision. This solution is ideal for solar installations, providing detailed data to help optimize energy efficiency and identify potential operational issues preventatively.

How Does It Work?

1. Real-Time Monitoring of Current and Voltage in Solar Panels: Real-Time Monitoring of Current and Voltage in Solar Panels: ZE-2AI and T201DC are designed to measure current and voltage in each solar panel. These modules collect precise data on energy production and can detect performance drops that indicate maintenance or cleaning needs.
2. Centralized Control and Supervision: Data from all sensors is centralized on the P5070NB HMI, which acts as the main monitoring center for performance parameters. This HMI allows operators to visualize energy production in real time, generating trend graphs and alerts when voltage or current levels deviate from optimal ranges
3. Temperature and Environmental Conditions Monitoring: To ensure comprehensive monitoring of operating conditions, the DL-100-E, temperature and humidity sensors are placed near the panels. This sensor measures ambient temperature and humidity, key factors affecting panel efficiency, and sends this data to the central system.
4. Angle Measurement for Efficiency Optimization: Solar panel efficiency can vary based on their angle and orientation. An absolute encoder like SR12 measures the panel angle and sends this information to the central system for orientation adjustments, especially in installations with adjustable panels, optimizing solar capture.
5. Performance Analysis and Alerts: The P5070NB HMI centralizes all performance information and presents it in specialized monitoring software, generating detailed reports. It also sends alerts when unusual levels in voltage or temperature are detected, allowing for preventive actions to avoid performance loss.
6. Cloud-based control panel and manual adjustments: To perform maintenance adjustments or checks off-site, the P5070NB HMI includes remote access. Technicians can configure and adjust system parameters directly from the cloud, making interaction and control easier in harsh conditions.

Step-by-Step Process

1. Current and Voltage Measurement: ZE-2AI and T20 modules measure real-time consumption and generation for each panel.
2. Centralized Visualization and Supervision: The P5070NB HMI collects data and displays it in easy-to-read graphs and reports.
3. Temperature and Humidity Monitoring: DL-100-E measures environmental conditions that impact panel efficiency.
4. Angle Control: SR12 measures panel inclination, adjusting its angle to maximize solar capture.
5. Alerts and Predictive Maintenance: The system generates alerts in the event of performance anomalies, allowing for preventive measures.
6. Cloud-based Control: The P5070NB HMI enables remote adjustments in control systems when necessary.
