We will calculate various parameters like Current, Voltage. For calculation of intensity we will see LDR sensor for current measurement the current sensor, for voltage we will use voltage divider representing the whole result of the calculated parameters the whole result of the calculated parameters will be displayed on 16×2 LCD. Which is interfaced with Arduino Uno for running the whole circuit we will use a 230/12 V step down transformer which reduce the A.C voltage to 12 volt. After that bridge rectifier is used to convert 12 V A.C. to12V D.C. The D.C voltage have some ripple contents which will be filtered through the filter circuit which is capacitive filter and for the microcontroller operation the whole 12V D.C supply will be reduce to +5V. The solar energy is huge source of energy in the globe. It is renewable energy resources thus there is no matter about its consumption This makes remotely monitoring of solar plants very easy and ensure best power output.
