SOLARIX is an Internet of Things (IoT)-based smart home monitoring and control system powered by solar energy. The project was developed to address the increasing demand for sustainable energy management and remote home monitoring solutions. Many convention home systems do not provide users with real-time information regarding energy generation, battery status, and electrical consumption. Therefore, SOLARIX integrates renewable energy technology with smart monitoring features to improve energy efficiency and user convenience.
 
The system utilizes a solar panel as the primary energy source, which stores energy in a rechargeable battery. An ESP8266 NodeMCU microcontroller is used to collect and transmit data through a wireless network. Users can remotely control up to five lighting units and monitor system performance through a dedicated web-based dashboard. The dashboard displays important information such as system online/offline status, battery level, solar charging status, current consumption, house energy storage and the operational status of each light . During the prototype development stage, Blynk was utilized as a testing platform to validate the IoT communication and control functions.
