IoT Power Measurement Module || Adding IoT feature to my solar charge controller.

This project is about making an Arduino based wattmeter enabled with a WiFi module to transmit the data over the internet to my smartphone. I made this power module to monitor the power generated by my solar panels that is being fed to the solar charge controller to charge my batteries.
This module can also be used to measure DC power consumption of any other application as well.
This project helps me monitor the amount of energy I harvest from my panels. Let's take a step ahead to turn more towards renewable sources of energy to cut down carbon footprints and create a sustainable environment :)

Thanks bro

I found this via the Face book group, I know you can buy charge controllers that log and wifi, but this looks really interesting. I am new ( I unboxed my first UNO yesterday ;) ) to arduino and am an 'enthusiastic tinkerer' with my solar rig as it is at the moment, powering the lights and music car stereo in my shed. What I was thinking about just yesterday was some way to log a small panel on the house roof to gather data for a future instal of house solar. As we are near winter equinox, now would be a good time to start logging. So thanks for the info here..... Good video too, clear and to the point. Subbed!

Yes as a matter of fact we do get controllers that log data but that is only available for very high end controllers and just the log devices tend to be very expensive. So I tried and came up with this alternative. Glad that this was helpful :)

@@UtsavShah_25 Thanks for your reply :)

[@TowfiqAhmed3ELab-Bogura]

How do you make that shunt resistor?

[@UtsavShah_25]

I actually got that from an old unused multimeter

[@atharvabhave8490]

Can I use ESP8266, which has wifi module in itself?

[@UtsavShah_25]

If you're referring to NodeMCU or equivalent module then yes, you can use that as well

utsav is there any way to contact you to discuss on a project
