Climatic conditions and temperature levels often affect the infrastructure of photovoltaic systems, causing the scheduled generation to not be as expected. The objective was to design a monitoring system for an experimental 3.4 kWp photovoltaic plant that is located on the terrace of building 1 of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Sciences of the Technical University of Manabí. An automation process was developed to optimize the performance of the installation, using an innovative perspective, the study determinedly faces the initial challenges associated with the software previously used for the design of a data storage system when incorporated into the institutional geoportal. The successful implementation of the Oxley Solar mobile application and, consequently, of the PZM-0043 module, emerges as a comprehensive solution that ensures the continuity of monitoring and contributes significantly to improving the efficiency of the photovoltaic system. The Oxley Solar app overcomes previous limitations by enabling efficient data extraction via Bluetooth and subsequent transmission via Wi-Fi, facilitating more effective storage. The result was the introduction of the PZM-0043 module that adds a layer of automation to the system, guaranteeing continuous data transmission to the database to be stored in the geoportal.
