“…PV monitoring systems allow for timely replacement of faulty components as well as the replacement of underperforming parts. Thus far, low cost data acquisition systems have been developed in the research setting [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. As many PV systems are located in areas that are difficult to access, some devices have incorporated concepts of low-maintenance and automated data collection into their designs.…”

Abstract. This paper presents the design of a low-cost data acquisition system for monitoring a photovoltaic system's electrical quantities, battery temperatures, and state of charge of the battery. The electrical quantities are the voltages and currents of the solar panels, the battery, and the system loads. The system uses an Atmega328p microcontroller to acquire data from the photovoltaic system's charge controller. It also records individual load information using current sensing resistors along with a voltage amplification circuit and an analog to digital converter. The system is used in conjunction with a wall power data acquisition system for the recording of regional power outages. Both data acquisition systems record data in micro SD cards. The data has been successfully acquired from both systems and has been used to monitor the status of the PV system and the local power grid. As more data is gathered it can be used for the maintenance and improvement of the photovoltaic system through analysis of the photovoltaic system's parameters and usage statistics.

This paper describes the design of general data logger system which is able to store data from few input channels and having large memory space. The proposed data logging system is aimed to be able to store plenty quantities of data from analog signal over an extensive period of time so that it will be able to be left unattended for a quite long time. Besides the communication between microcontroller and memory unit are discussed in detail in this paper. The limitation of memory storage is also tested. A prototype of data logger is developed and tested to verify the concept mentioned before.

This paper presents the design of a low-cost DAS (data acquisition system) for monitoring a PV (photovoltaic) system's electrical quantities, battery temperatures, and state of charge of the battery. The electrical quantities are the voltages and currents of the solar panels, the battery, and the system loads. The system uses an Atmega328p microcontroller to acquire data from the PV system's charge controller. It also records individual load information using current sensing resistors along with a voltage amplification circuit and an analog to digital converter. The system is used in conjunction with a wall power DAS for the recording of regional power outages. Both DASs record data in microSD cards. The data have been successfully acquired from both systems and have been used to monitor the status of the PV system and the local power grid. As more data are gathered, it can be used for the maintenance and improvement of the PV system through analysis of the PV system's parameters and usage statistics.
