Chapter 11: IoT Solar Energy (Voltage) Measurement

Solar energy is considered one of the most promising renewable energy sources in the face of global warming challenges. It has been considered one of the best alternatives to reduce the dependency on fossil fuels and meet the growing demand for electricity (Ryan, 2005). To achieve this, sunlight is converted into electricity, and the sunlight is collected through solar panels.

In this chapter, you will continue creating IoT software for the STM32 Blue Pill microcontroller board using a voltage sensor to measure the solar energy collected by a solar panel. The application will send the sensed data to the internet using the NodeMCU ESP8266 microcontroller board.

In this chapter, we will cover ...
