  All over the world the peak demand load is increasing and the load factor is
decreasing year-by-year. The fossil fuel is considered insufficient thus solar
energy systems are becoming more and more useful, not only in terms of
installation but monitoring of these systems is very crucial. Monitoring
becomes very important when there are a large number of solar panels.
Monitoring would allow early detection if the output falls below required level
or one of the solar panel out of 1000 goes down. In this study the target is to
monitor and control a developed solar panel by using available internet
foundation. This web-enabled software will provide more flexibility over the
system such as transmitting data from panel to the host computer and
disseminating information to relevant stake holders barring any geographical
barrier. The software would be built around web server with dynamic HTML and
JAVA, this paper presents the preliminary design of the proposed system.
