Abstract

A novel datalogger based on free software and hardware has been designed, built, programmed and installed as an experimental prototype in multiple sites. Remote monitoring extends the effectiveness of the datalogger in areas deprived of electrical grid and traditional wired telecommunication networks. The integration of Internet of Things (IoT) in solar measurement systems allows the remote monitoring of small stand-alone photovoltaic (PV) systems, enhancing the performance and the maintenance of the system. The datalogger measured electric and climatic parameters (up to 14 parameters, expandable) with the required accuracy established by the IEC61724 standard; to include 3G technology in it allowed the stand-alone PV systems system monitoring remotely via web or via mobile application, all at low cost. An outdoor campaign of over 12 months under the harsh environmental conditions at multiple locations was performed to test the new datalogger under real and different conditions demonstrating the robustness and the reliability of the system.
