Abstract

In order to develop literature studies on this research, solar panel monitoring systems to track the efficiency of solar energy conversion processes into electrical energy have been developed. The aim of this study was to build an IOT monitoring system on a mini solar panel to examine the impact of storing data in a microcontroller or IOT manner on the Thingspeak website. However, in this study, the same research was conducted, the difference being the use of a mini solar panel with a voltage capacity of 5V and a current of 60mA with a series or parallel assembly to obtain a voltage in the process of charging a 12V battery and a current of 5Ah. When using circuit design techniques, creating connectivity testing tools, data comparison, data processing, and finally, the test results, data is generated in the form of voltage, current, and power. The test results show that data storage using the microcontroller is faster than data storage using the IOT, which is due to the slow wifi signal speed. The error trend between the IOT and microcontroller from 10:00 to 11:00 o'clock decreased from the difference of 0.563 watts to 0.011 watts, indicating that the storage error between the IOT and the microcontroller is not too bad.
