Abstract
The present investigation focused on designing and implementing a system for monitoring solar radiation levels in Loja, Ecuador. The solar radiation levels monitoring system is based on developing a sensor network where the two ultraviolet (UV) sensors represent the network nodes. The sensors are wired and wireless to the base station, which means the network's core, where data processing, acquisition, and management are performed. The base station manages the data collected by the UV sensors. These data are linked to an application for mobile phones with the Android operating system. In the application, you can visualize the level of solar radiation in real-time, the history of the data, and the respective preventions according to the level of the ultraviolet index (IUV) presented. In turn, the implementation of a solar light was included for direct visualization of solar radiation levels.
