Design and Development of Real Time Temperature and Solar Radiation Measurement System.

Abstract

Solar energy is one of the solutions to the energy crisis as it is renewable and has no Environmental hazards. Thus, we investigated the dye sensitized solar cell aiming at introducing a clean and cheap energy resource measuring system. We started our investigation using the conditions recommended in the literature, i.e. using ATmega328p microcontroller based Arduino Uno board, Real Time Clock ( DS3231), LM35 Temperature sensor, Solar cell with an operational amplifier. Measuring solar radiation is essential for determining the viability of a solar system in a particular surface.
