Implementação de um Sistema Fotovoltaico de Rastreamento Solar Monitorado Remotamente

Abstract

This work presents the development of a small solar generator plant with tracking capacity, designed to operate either on or off grid, also encompassing a remote communication system for monitoring purposes. The project aims to provide a basis for the development of low-cost solutions when compared to plants controlled by programmable logic and has its computer system based on open-source platforms. Results of field tests are presented that validate the operation and remote monitoring of the system, as well as its greater power generation when compared to a fixed photovoltaic system.
