Abstract
This paper proposes an IoT-based solution for efficient monitoring and control of solar panel and AC power consumption, aiming to optimize energy usage and reduce utility bills. Leveraging IoT technology, the system collects real-time data on power generation from solar panels and consumption by AC units, enabling users to gain insights into their energy usage patterns. Through remote access via mobile applications or web interfaces, users can monitor their power consumption, identify inefficiencies, and remotely control their devices. The system also supports automation features such as scheduling to optimize energy usage based on time-of day pricing or user preferences. By integrating solar panels into the monitoring and control system, users can effectively utilize renewable energy and further reduce their dependency on traditional grid power. Overall, this IoT-based solution empowers users to make informed decisions regarding their energy consumption, contributing to cost savings and environmental sustainability.
