Abstract As the demand for electricity continues to rise, power outages have become increasingly common. This paper proposes a solution to address these interruptions by implementing a system designed to prevent power loss. The setup incorporates key components such as an LDR, amplifier, ADC, microcontroller, driver circuit, motor, and limit switches. A solar panel, consisting of several silicon cells, generates voltage when exposed to sunlight. These voltage signals are then processed through a conversion circuit. The output voltage is influenced by the panel's size.

Because the sun’s position shifts throughout the day, the solar panel must adjust its orientation to maintain maximum efficiency. Continuous monitoring of solar power systems is crucial to detect issues like malfunctioning panels, loose connections, dust accumulation, or other factors that may hinder performance. This study also introduces an automated, IoT-enabled solar power monitoring system, which allows users to remotely monitor solar panel output via the internet. An Arduino-based setup is used to track the performance of a 5-watt solar panel and send real-time data to the IoT platform for ongoing observation.
