Solar Energy Measurement System
DESCRIPTION
This is used to measure solar cell parameters through multiple sensor data
acquisition.
Here different parameters of the solar panel like the light intensity, voltage,
current and the temperature are controlled.

The ripples are removed using a capacitive filter, and it is then regulated
to +5V using a voltage regulator 7805 that is essential for the operation of
the microcontroller and other circuits.

It allows for the development of solar energy devices, makes it possible for
doctors to issue advice about sun exposure, and permits scientists to
predict rates of future global warming on a grander scale.

Solar Energy Measurement System
Measurements taken for the purpose of energy production via solar panels
and another photovoltaic equipment is calculated in kilowatt-hours per
square meter, or kWh/m2, designed to represent the amount of energy being
generated by that sunlight.

A Btu is about the amount of energy it takes to heat a pound of water from
39F to 40F.

Solar Energy Measurement System
For solar panels, the measurement of kWh refers to the amount of energy
produced by the panel.
This measure can be represented as kWh per square meter of panel surface.
For example, it takes 38,000 BTUs to heat 80 gallons of cold water to 122
degrees. A solar hot water heating system with a rating of 30,500 Btu/day
rating will be able to provide 80 percent of the daily hot water needs.

Solar Energy Measurement System
Actual solar radiation equipment is not often useful to the average person
interested in measuring sunlight intensity for gauging solar panel productivity.
Insolation tables, which specify the kilowatts per square meter recorded
annually in different areas, are found online.

Future Scope:
The measurement of solar radiation is useful in much the same way that
records of rainfall are useful
For example, insolation tables can help people in different areas decided
whether solar panels are an appropriate alternative energy source. If there is not
enough solar radiation, they may opt instead for wind power.
Such data may also be useful when it comes to deciding how much sunscreen
to wear, or for physicians looking to study rates of skin cancer in relation to
rates of solar radiation exposure.

Conclusion:
Although the technicality and special equipment required for the
measurement of solar radiation may make it difficult for the layman to
understand, there are many practical uses for this data.
