Cover Story: In general, The PV monitoring system sustainably provides real-time data and status information about PV modules and PCSs. PV monitoring technology using short-range wireless communication technology has been developed. LoRa is a representative technology of low-power long-distance communication and provides a very wide communication range with low power. This enables long-distance, low-power wireless network monitoring without charging additional costs. A monitoring system consisting of LoRa could be an innovative development strategy for building micro-networks in residential and commercial buildings. Overall, there is a trend toward strengthening the construction of smart homes, including improving the energy efficiency of houses and disseminating monitoring. View this paper
