Summary: | Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems are the most widely renewable technologies used to generate power. In this
paper, smart monitoring and fault detection on the off-grid solar system is proposed and designed to improve the solar
PV system's operation more effectively. Environmental conditions, equipment interference, and changes in existing
parameters normally cause problems in the system. A real-time monitoring system is required to monitor the
performance of the solar PV system circuit. The internet of things (IoT) is used in this project to directly observe the
energy in the system via an application platform. Also, this paper discussed solar PV system faults detection based on
the difference in voltage and current values measured during usual and unusual periods based on parameters value.
This project will reduce the time and effect in searching for faults in the solar system. The results show several
categories, including open circuits and short circuits, are classified as faults in this system. In general, the fault
detection system and smart power utilization using IoT monitoring for the photovoltaic system is the focus of this
project's development
