Photovoltaic powered environmental monitoring

Abstract

The main goal of the Photovoltaic Powered Environmental Monitoring Pollution station system is to design a simple and cheap microcontroller based weather monitoring system utilizing wireless technology devices in order to capture weather conditions utilizing different kinds of sensors such as temperature, pressure, light, wind speed and direction, humidity, and gasses in which all the signals are gathered on the WiFi board and forwarded to remote user found at a cloud web. The Photovoltaic Powered Environmental Monitoring Pollution project is developed by utilizing MEGA2560 Microcontroller, Sparkfun Weather Shield, DFRobot WiFi Shield and the appropriate sensors. The benefits of utilizing wireless technology is that wireless communication network is mostly widespread almost all regions of the planet. Moreover, wireless technology can provide high quality signal and channels, and high quality wireless communication at low costs and great features. This implemented design can truly be helpful for any user who wants to monitor a specific location without standing next to the station.
