Monitoring system for global solar radiation, temperature, current and power for a photovoltaic system interconnected with the electricity distribution network in Bogota

This paper describes the implementation of a monitoring system to determine the efficiency of energy production generated by a set of six photovoltaic panels, interconnected with the domestic electricity grid in Bogota Colombia. The system is easy to use and enables the visualization of different signals acquired with sensors to measure temperature, solar radiation, voltage, DC current produced by the panel, the AC output of the inverter, the power generated by PV modules network and delivered power.
