The Smart Solar Community Microgrid project presents an efficient and sustainable approach to decentralized energy management using renewable resources. In this system, two independent residential units (houses) are powered by solar panels integrated with battery storage and connected to a common microgrid line. Each unit is equipped with an ESP32 microcontroller, INA219 current sensor, and voltage sensor to accurately measure real-time solar energy generation and energy consumption. The system also includes an LCD display for local monitoring and a DC motor acting as a controllable load. The generated energy is first utilized locally, and any excess energy is stored in shared grid batteries, enabling optimal energy utilization and reducing dependency on conventional power sources.
Furthermore, the system incorporates IoT capabilities using the ThingSpeak platform to transmit and visualize energy data remotely. The collected data includes generated power, consumed energy, and stored surplus energy for each house, enabling precise energy tracking and billing calculations. This ensures fair energy distribution and cost estimation among users in the microgrid. The integration of smart sensing, wireless communication, and cloud analytics makes the system highly efficient, scalable, and suitable for modern smart communities aiming for energy sustainability and intelligent power management.
