Solar Powered Environmental Sensor Network

Abstract

This project presents a solar-powered wireless environmental sensor network designed for real-time monitoring of key environmental parameters in remote or off-grid locations. The system integrates sensors such as the DHT11 (for temperature and humidity), soil moisture sensor, and LDR for light intensity measurement. An Arduino Uno collects sensor data, while an ESP32 module enables wireless transmission to a cloud or web-based dashboard for remote access. Solar power, combined with a rechargeable battery and charge controller, ensures sustainable, energy-efficient operation. Compact and scalable, the system supports long-term deployment in agriculture, research, and smart ecosystem applications. Real-time graphical data visualization aids in quick decision-making. The design prioritizes eco-friendliness, low power consumption, and future scalability with potential enhancements like additional sensors, IoT capabilities, and AI-based analysis.
