A blog about DIY solar and arduino projects
Previous post we have been talking about Digital Power Meter (DPM) and how to set it during startup. We need to set few things including CT ratio, Electrical Network, Voltage & Current input Selection etc. In this post, we will bring Digital Power Meter to further and more useful approach. We will be taking the […]
Digital Power Meter (DPM) is a 3-phase AC professional electrical measurement & display device to determine AC electrical parameters including Voltage, Current, Power, Energy, and Power Factor. It can measure up to few thousand amperes and it is always installed in Commercial Electrical Panel for monitoring purpose. Economical DPM could measure all basic electrical parameters while […]
https://youtu.be/M3mX_nS-OHI Energy Meter is a very useful device that measures and records important information of electrical parameters. Most Economic Commercial DC or AC Energy Meters are single direction meter which could only measure and record values in one direction. Uni-directional / one-way / one-direction Energy Meter is sufficient for typical household and DC power generation […]
Why We Need Solar Tracker System ? The electricity generated from fixed tilt angle solar array is less efficient throughout the day as the solar array is not facing the Sun directly (optimum angle) all the time. Sun moves 15 degrees every hour from East to West across the equator. The larger the angle difference […]
https://youtu.be/MRolKJsCb2w Determine a solar panel maximum output power performance is important. By measuring the expected maximum power output of a solar panel, we can know that whether the solar panel is producing as expected or under performed. By comparing the measured value and the theoretical calculation, we can know the performance ratio of a solar […]
https://youtu.be/We_kBjiUkXU Analog pins are used to measure sensors values. It can record a wide range of values compared to Digital pins that are just provide ON/OFF state. By conventional method, each Analog Input pin that is measured by micro controller is only allow to connected and measured from one sensor. If you need to measure […]
https://youtu.be/pPFTldDt-9g On previous blog page https://solarduino.com/pzem-017-dc-energy-meter-with-arduino/ ,we have discussed on how to read the PZEM-017 using PC and LCD Display Shield using Arduino Uno. Today, we go a bit further by sending those measurement values to the internet web interface using Blynk App for online remote monitoring. For those who are new, PZEM-017 DC Energy Meter is […]

https://youtu.be/syrD37L5fOc Energy Meter is a very useful device that displays important information of electrical parameters. Most Economic Commercial AC Energy Meters are single direction meter which could not record or may be error if the current flow in reverse. They are normally using normal Current Transformer to measure the current value. Today’s project will be […]
Energy Meter is a very useful device that displays important information of electrical parameters. Most Economic Commercial DC Energy Meters are single direction meter which could not record or may be error if the current flow in reverse. They are normally using shunt resistor to measure the current value which physically need to alter the […]
