Abstract:
This paper presents the development and testing of a data acquisition system using the AVR - Internet of Things (IoT) Cellular Mini microcontroller to monitor the temperature of photovoltaic (PV) modules on the roof of the Alternative Energy Laboratory of the Federal University of Ceara (LEA - UFC) in Fortaleza, Brazil. Temperature data are captured by PT100 and DHT11 sensors. Data acquisition is initiated through the connection of each sensor to a dedicated port of the microcontroller, with data transmitted to the cloud using the ThingSpeak platform. The initial phase of the system was tested for one month, providing insights into its operation and the integration of real-time monitoring for renewable energy systems.
