Solar Electric System + Arduino Yun + thelibraproject.com IoT – 12.3.2013
What was I trying to do? Create a solar electricity system and monitor its performance remotely 3 key metrics: • Track power generated • Track power used • Monitor current battery level AZ > IL > nothing Solar Side Note:
Solar Power System • 100W Solar Panel • 34 AH battery • 12A Charge Controller • 400W DC->AC Inverter
Arduino’s Role Arduino Yun Solar System ACS712 Current Sensor (2) Voltage Divider Circuits (2) WebServer (thelibraproject.com/Solar/solar_power.php)
The Fruits of My Labor Lifetime Statistics How has my system functioned over time? Current Statistics What’s going on right now? Trends What have I learned and how can I apply it?
