Abstract
Monitoring the current and voltage produced by solar cells is very necessary to find out how much power the solar cells we use produce. Measuring light intensity helps us to know the intensity of light absorbed by solar cells. This research aims to apply Internet of Things (IoT) technology to monitor and monitor the electrical power produced by solar power plants. The IoT system developed consists of a web server, a smart phone as a device to monitor the current and voltage produced by the solar cell, an ESP32 to process data from current, voltage, temperature and light intensity sensors installed on the Solar Cell and then send the data to the web server. Data sent from the ESP32 is stored on a web server and can be accessed by smartphones. From the results of measurements on the solar panel using current, voltage, temperature and light intensity sensors and data collection was carried out for 7 days, data on the power produced per day was obtained. of 140.2VA, the temperature on the panel during the day is 48.21oC with a light intensity of 31,380 Lux.
