Automated sun tracking solar pv power plant monitoring.

"Powering Tomorrow with Sun-Tracking PV Innovation!"

HELIO.EYE

INTRODUCTION

This system will rotate and place the solar panels (photovoltaic panels) to face the direction of direct sunlight to generate optimum levels of electricity throughout the day. The energy generation will be monitored from the system and the real-time data will be sent to the client. The client can view the real time data and as well as the past energy generation data.

Main features of the the System

  • Rotating and moving the solar panel to face the direction of the sun
  • Energy generation monitoring
  • Real-time data presentation
  • Statistics presentation
  • User-Centric Interface : Enhancing Access and Control in Real-Time Systems
