Web based monitoring of solar power systems

A web-based solution is presented for remote monitoring of solar power systems. A webserver is implemented on an ARM Cortex-M3 microcontroller and accommodates the required functionality for remote monitoring and control of multipoint networks containing a variety of sensing and control nodes used in solar power system. Web based monitoring software consisting of an application running on the embedded platform and a PC application suite that supports configuring, installing and maintaining of all system components was developed.
