Solar energy can be used directly for electricity and heat generation as well as for small-scale use in smart cities such as traffic lights city lighting vehicle charging stations. The Internet of Things enables remote monitoring and control of solar energy systems diagnosis of faults that may occur in the system and increasing system efficiency. The energy production of the system can be monitored depending on the time of day and if solar tracking systems are applied tracking angles can be monitored too. In this study the electrical parameters of a solar panel such as voltage current values orientation of the solar panel and the light intensity in the outdoor environment were recorded in the cloud storage area by sensors. The data obtained from all sensors are evaluated and preprocessed by the microcontroller. These collected data are transferred to comparable graphs under two different light intensities. The proposed work is an example of an application that if scaled up can be used in monitoring larger-scale systems where solar panels can be grouped in series and parallel. The novel contribution of the study is to evaluate the basic electrical parameters and orientation of solar panels together and to monitor the faults (voltage current solar tracking system induced faults) caused by these characteristics. © 2025 Elsevier B.V.
