3. Description of Project
The aim of the project is use the Intel IoT platform
hosted in 1&1 cloud servers to make a demo of how
easy you can connect any “thing” like solar power
panels to Internet to:
• Collect data
• Connect things each other
• Receive alarms
• Manage power
• Get statistics
• Etc…

4. Our Solution
• Use Intel Edison Arduino to connect and monitor
things. In this case, solar power panels
• Use Intel IoT Analytics platform to collect data, send
alarms and use as a gateway between solar power
panels
• One Master solar power panel knows power demand
and state of the rest of panels and control de slaves
panels
• Depending on power demand, the master connects or
disconnects the panels knowing their state and the
light radiation the receive.
• All panels monitor temperature and light radiation.
They disconnect in case of alarm and send the new
state

5. Technologies We Used
• Arduino IDE
• Arduino Intel Edison
• API REST
• Intel IoT Analytics Platform
• Cloud Server
• Rules
• Real Time

6. Results
• A complete smart solar power plant monitored in one
platform.
• Receive early alarms in our mobile phone, email, etc…
• Data storage for thousand or millions of physical
parameters to analyze them in future.
• One cloud server with Intel IoT Platform allows us to
make a rapid prototype and get data in just a few
hours to have an idea on our proof of concept.
• High scalable platform for any interested customer and
installed in a few minutes in 1&1 cloud servers

15. Things Left To Do
• Improve the code
• Make an Arduino formal library to easy connect an
Arduino or any other microcontroller to the Intel
IoT platform
• Make a data analytics app with all collected data
• Use MQTT protocol to use a push police for
communication between nodes instead of pull
