An Investigation of the Temperature Effect on Solar Panel Efficiency Based on IoT Technology

Sunlight is effectively transformed into electric current using photovoltaic panels. The rest of the suns spectrum is linked to harmful radiation, which increases the temperature of the photovoltaic panels and consequently decreases performance, power generation, and efficiency. This paper includes an experimental investigation to investigate the performance of a polycrystalline solar PV panel at varying temperatures. Then this study uses Internet of Things IoT technologies to examine how the efficiency of a polycrystalline solar PV panel performs at various temperatures. The K type thermocouple, an Arduino Uno, a Max6675 module, an ESP8266 ESP 01 module, the Thing Speak cloud platform, and voltage divider resistors were the components that constructed the IoT based temperature measurement system. The temperature of a polycrystalline solar panel is determined by experiments, and it may be used to determine the solar panels efficiency. The efficiency of the solar PV panel gradually decreases as the surface temperature of the panel increases.
