Outside Lightning With Arduino and Solar Panels

[stefcarubelli]

Hi guys
let me present you my solar installation for my terrace illumination. it uses an Arduino board to control and monitor the system. It takes into account the brightness, the date and hour, the state of charge of the 12V battery and can be manually control on smartphone with an interface developped with "remoteXY" application.
the full system is consisting of :
Solar panels (2x 20W)
12V Battery (12A.h or more)
10W LED (4x)
Battery Charger 12V relay
Arduino Leonardo
brightness sensor (photo cell)
WIFI Module ESP8266
real time module DS3231
current sensor ACS712
DC-DC converter (12V->9V)
and an interface on Smartphone edited with "RemoteXY" to control and monitor the system.
please leave a comment if you have any questions.
Stephane.
