With the widening application of solar PV power generation, a way of solar utilization, the safe operation of PV power generation system is increasingly valued. To assure the operating safety and reliability of PV power plant, monitoring system has to be installed to identify and eliminate faults of the plant immediately. Solar remote monitoring system in the architecture of internet of things (IoT) is comprised of sensing layer, information transmission layer and application layer. The sensing layer consists of sensors for monitoring environment, PV module and inverter; the information transmission layer consists of ZigBee access unit, access network, WEB server and Internet; and the application layer consists of IoT application fault diagnosis module. The remote monitoring system provides scientific decision-making reference to the safe operation and daily maintenance and management of PV power generation system through data acquisition, fusion, analysis and evaluation.

The off-grid solar photovoltaic (PV) system is a significant step towards electrification in the remote rural regions, and it is the most convenient and easy to install technology. However, the strategic problem is in identifying the potential of solar energy and the economic viability in particular regions. This study, therefore, addresses this problem by evaluating the solar energy potential and economic viability for the remote rural regions of the Sindh province, Pakistan. The results recommended that the rural regions of Sindh have suitable solar irradiance to generate electricity. An appropriate tilt angle has been computed for the selected rural regions, which significantly enhances the generation capacity of solar energy. Moreover, economic viability has been undertaken in this study and it was revealed that the off-grid solar PV power generation system provides electricity at the cost of Pakistani Rupees (PKR) 6.87/kWh and is regarded as much cheaper than conventional energy sources, i.e., around PKR 20.79/kWh. Besides, the off-grid solar PV power generation system could mitigate maximum CO2 annually on the condition that all of the selected remote rural regions adopt the off-grid solar PV system. Therefore, this study shall help the government to utilize the off-grid solar PV power generation system in the remote rural regions of Pakistan.
