THE INTRODUCTION
The objective is to convert parameters of analog form to
digital form and to display output on LCD display.
This is a solar energy based project. We see many power
stations for maintaining and monitoring parameters related to
solar panel.
Parameters like temperature, light intensity, voltage, current
are important in households too. Data acquisition is the process
of sampling signals that measure real world physical conditions
and converting the resulting samples into digital numeric values
that can be manipulated by a computer. Data acquisition
systems, abbreviated by the acronyms DAS or DAQ, typically
convert analog waveforms into digital values for processing. The
components of data acquisition systems include:

 Sensors, to convert physical parameters to electrical signals.

 Signal conditioning circuitry, to convert sensor signals into a
form that can be converted to digital values.
 Analog-to-digital converters, to convert conditioned sensor
signals to digital values.
 LCD display to print or display the value of converted values.
Data acquisition applications are usually controlled by
software programs developed using various general
purpose programming languages such
as Assembly, BASIC, C, C++, C#, Fortran, Java, LabVIEW, Lisp, Pasc

al, etc. Stand-alone data acquisition systems are often

called data loggers.

COMPONENTS TO BE USED
• Solar panel – 4V
• Arduino uno microcontroller
• Temperature sensor
• Light dependent resistor (ldr)
• 16x2 lcd display
• Connecting wires and jumpers (mm, mf, ff)
• Breadboard/ printed circuit board
• Minor components like resistors, leds, preset, etc.

The overall cost for the project was about Rs. 1300 for
which the main components like Arduino microcontroller
costs Rs.350, Voltage sensor costs Rs.300, Temperature
sensor costs Rs.60, LCD as Rs.100 and the remaining
expenses for the jumper wires, PCB, LCD mounting
boards,etc.

ADVANTAGES:
This system can be used in household monitoring of
solar energy parameters. One can connect light dependent
resistor, a current sensor for further enhancement in the
system.
Since this system is partially Solar based, the electric
supply being given to Arduino, it can help measure energy
parameters with great energy efficiency.
The LCD does give its output from the Arduino. Since,
Arduino can be programmed as we want, many calculations
over the input of the sensors can be made through the
software and displayed on the LCD.

CONCLUSION
• We have presented work on design and development of
solar panel parameter reading using arduino for
environmental monitoring, the node is enough to provide
information about environment parameters such as
temperature and light intensity.
• Parameters like voltage and current can also be monitored
by this method.
