Abstract

This paper presents the development and evaluation of an Arduino-based data logging system integrated with Microsoft Excel for monitoring on-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. The system combines open-source hardware and software to enable real-time data acquisition, logging, and analysis of key performance metrics such as solar irradiance, temperature, voltage, and current levels. Leveraging the versatility of Arduino microcontrollers and the accessibility ofMicrosoft Excel, the proposed system offers a cost-effective and user-friendly solution for PV system monitoring. The integration of the MS Data Streamer add-in for Excel facilitates seamless data logging and visualization, empowering PV system owners, researchers, and practitioners with actionable insights for optimizing system performance and contributing to a sustainable energy future. Experimental validation of the system demonstrates its effectiveness in accurately measuring and logging sensor data, highlighting its potential for widespread adoption in renewable energy monitoring applications.
