Poster summary

This work is about a datalogger created and used to monitor the amount of energy produced by solar panels. Data is stored in the cloud, and the findings are displayed on a web interface. The information is saved in a Firebase database every five minutes in real-time. The main controller (ESP-32) retrieves the submeter's pulse count for the energy consumption value and converts it to kWh and cost of energy. Via the GSM module, the controller transmits the calculated data to the cloud. Serial communication is used for the ESP-32 and GSM module's communication. As a result, we can access energy using a web interface.
