Design and Development of Low-Cost Data Acquisition System for Solar PV Power Plant Monitoring

Abstract

We need to know that the meaning of solar panels is a device consisting of solar cells that can be used to convert light into electricity. These solar cells need to be protected from moisture and damage that can occur. This is done so as not to significantly damage the efficiency of solar panels and reduce their useful life. Usually, these solar panels have a lifespan of around 20 years. Within this time period the use of solar panels will not experience a significant decrease in efficiency. At present, despite the use of technological advances, most commercial solar panels are only able to achieve an efficiency of around 15%. Commercial solar panels are very rare which can exceed 20% efficiency. Solar panels do not emit harmful greenhouse gas as in fossil fuels burning . So the use of solar panels does not contribute to the effects of climate change. By using solar panels, we can get clean energy from the most abundant energy source on the planet, namely the sun
