ABSTRACT
Тhis paper presents the design and implementation of an efficient data acquisition and control system for solar photovoltaic (PV) installations using the Solar Assistant platform. The proposed system enables real-time moni-toring, logging, and analysis of key electrical and environmental parameters such as voltage, current, power out-put, battery state, and temperature. Through the integration of Solar Assistant with embedded hardware and IoT communication protocols, the system achieves improved data accuracy, reliability, and accessibility. A modular architecture was developed to support scalability and remote configuration of PV arrays. Experimental testing demonstrated that the integration of Solar Assistant reduces latency in data transmission, enhances performance monitoring, and facilitates preventive maintenance through predictive analytics. The results indicate that the pre-sented solution provides a cost-effective and flexible approach for improving the operational efficiency and lifespan of solar PV systems.
