A group of scientists from Egypt's Tanta University has developed a novel, wireless system for monitoring and controlling PV systems. It combines a custom-made printed circuit board (PCB) attached to the PV module and a single-board Raspberry Pi computer that communicates. When operating solar–wind power plants (SWPPs) located in populated areas, cases of premature failure of expensive batteries and other power equipment often occur. Their tests showed a “good degree of agreement” between the system and multimeter readings. Monitoring data is displayed in a visual form.
