Design and Construction of a 1.5kva Solar-Powered Inverter With IOT Capabilities

The increasing global demand for sustainable and reliable energy sources has accelerated the development of solar-powered systems. This paper presents the design and construction of a 1.5kVA solar-powered inverter integrated with Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities. The proposed inverter utilizes a photovoltaic (PV) array to harness solar energy, converting it to a stable AC output suitable for household or small business applications. The design encompasses critical components including a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) algorithm to optimize energy extraction from the PV system, and a robust inverter topology, ensuring efficient power conversion. To enhance functionality, the inverter is equipped with IoT technology, allowing real-time monitoring and control through a user-friendly mobile application (Blynk IoT). This integration enables users to access performance data, manage energy consumption, and receive alerts for system anomalies. The IoT module communicates with cloud services to provide remote access and analytics, facilitating proactive maintenance and improving system reliability. Overall, this work contributes to the field of renewable energy by presenting a practical solution for utilizing solar power effectively, with added dimensions of accessibility and convenience through IoT integration. The findings indicate that such advancements can promote the adoption of solar technologies, leading to enhanced energy sustainability and reduced dependency on conventional power sources.
