Our team just developed a project for the remote control of PV systems with multiple functionalities:

-Energy and system data exchange

-Cloud Services

-Data management

-User control dashboard

By using an online web interface, the users can monitor and manage their PV energy systems.

The devices embedded with the energy systems communicate with the server using the MQTT protocol, that is a very efficient communication protocol used in IoT technology.

The devices send and receive realtime data containing information about the system, settings and electrical parameters. Data is then processed and stored in MySQL databases. Finally, the series of variables are used to create graphs, turn on/off indicators and animate gauges.

The user control dashboard can be personalized by the users and has different functionalities depending on the user authorization (administrator, installer, customer).

The system includes public APIs for third party system integration.
