Monitoring of photovoltaic (PV) systems and gathering statistical data are important issues in renewable energy applications. This study presents the implementation of a PV system where the panel output data are gathered and transmitted through the wireless medium using Wi-Fi. This method allows remote monitoring of a PV system. The data about voltage, current, and power production can be collected and reported separately for both DC and AC units. The DC and mono-phase AC measurement values are transmitted via a Wi-Fi access point to the computer where the data are collected.
