As renewable energy is intermittent in nature, its integration in to the power grid is challenging task. Hence remote monitoring and data acquisition of various performance parameters from the renewable energy systems has become of paramount importance. Round the clock monitoring of the system ensures the stable and reliable operation of the system, by proper management, in this way an individual at a remote location can know whether the system is producing sufficient energy or not which is essential for its stable operation. This feature can be ensured by the use of real-time performance monitoring. If it is observed the sources is not working properly then an immediate remedy can be done to it before it sets in a chain of events and make things worse. The proposed monitoring system formulates unified data acquisition standard for distributed RES and real-time monitoring of RES such as solar PV. The system is an IoT server based using an Arduino to send the real-time power production to the cloud for remote access by the operator or the owner.
