In this paper, we report a robust monitoring system developed for both local and remote live monitoring of a PV system. The electrical and environmen-tal parameters of the PV system were monitored and saved using wireless sensor networks and Internet of. . Poor monitoring of a photovoltaic (PV) system is responsible for undetected faults that reduce the energy produced by the system and in the long run, decrease its lifespan. For this reason, this research proposes an IoT architecture that uses Arduino devices, mini WIFI and an open-source platform, so that it can be. . These systems are often deployed in remote areas far from urban centers, making the remote monitoring and early prediction of potential issues in these systems significant areas of research. Although current,voltage,temperature,and radiationare the most frequently m asured data,some systems measure different parameters.
