Solar Monitor MVP Workflow

A phased approach to building a robust solar energy analytics and anomaly detection system.

From Panel to Dashboard: The Data Journey

Our Minimum Viable Product (MVP) for the solar monitor is designed with a layered architecture, ensuring a clear roadmap from raw sensor data to insightful visualizations and anomaly detection. Each layer plays a critical role in the overall system's efficiency and reliability.

1. Hardware Layer

The foundation of our system, capturing real-world data.

  • Sensors (Voltage, Current, Temp.)
  • ESP32/Raspberry Pi Microcontroller
  • Solar-powered with Battery Backup

2. Data Pipeline

Ensuring clean, reliable, and timely transmission of sensor data.

  • Raw Sensor Readings (1-5s)
  • Noise Filtering & Normalization
  • MQTT/REST API Transmission

3. Backend & Database

The central hub for data ingestion, storage, and API services.

  • Time-series Database (InfluxDB/TimescaleDB)
  • Node.js/FastAPI for Data Ingestion
  • Defined Data Model (Timestamp, V, I, T)

4. AI Agents

Intelligent processing to clean, analyze, and detect anomalies.

  • Data Cleaning Agent (Outlier Removal)
  • Analytics Agent (Efficiency, Energy Yield)
  • Anomaly Detection Agent (Drops, Overheating)

5. User Interface

Empowering users with real-time insights and actionable alerts.

  • React + Vite + TypeScript Frontend
  • Real-time Monitor & Daily Trends
  • Anomaly Alerts & System Health
