Performance validation of a Remotely Monitored Off-Grid PV Plant in UTP

Constant burning of fossil fuels for power generation not only depletes our reserves of non-renewable energy but does carry detrimental harm to the environment and world climate. Hence, there’s a growing need for sufficient and friendly environmental sources of energy. Solar energy or energy from th...
