Develop an IoT GSM Solar monitoring platform

Project description:

The objective of the project is to develop a platform to monitor small and medium-sized photovoltaic plants through GSM IoT connection and AC current measurement with current transformers.

This requires:

• Identify a GSM communication module.
• Identify or develop a current measurement hardware of up to 3 current CT transformers of different capacities between 50 and 500A.
• Integrate both modules and send the generation information to a server.
• Prepare a portal or BackOffice where the production of each solar plant is received daily and alarms can be programmed due to low production or lack of communication.
• Prepare an App for iOS and Android where the user can see the production of their equipment.

The following will be assessed:

• The use of open source tools such as Open Energy Monitor
• The use of hardware already existing on the market and widely available on Aliexpress and the like.


Important:

• Based on the above, it is critical to keep the cost of hardware as low as possible.
