Abstract - The presence of tiny dust particles, soil, or soot
So to reduce the overburdening on power grids, the solar power plants and small solar units can helps in reducing the burden and also helps to get more clean energy. Concerning solar power systems, it is crucial to keep an eye on the power output of the photovoltaic panels in order to achieve maximum efficiency. That is the reason it is essential to implement a real-time surveillance system [8]. It may also be utilized for the surveillance of the power produced from individual panels in a big solar power plant, which assists in locating any dust accumulation. Additionally, it eliminates any fault situations from arising while the system is in use. When it comes to small solar units like the solar in communities, villages, and cell phone towers where these units are managed and maintained by individuals [9]. If the maintenance is not done regularly then the efficiency of panels goes down and there may be high power loss.
over the solar panels decreases the efficiency of the solar plates, which causes overburden on the power grids, due to the overburden there can be severe blackouts, therefore online surveillance of the power grids become cardinal for the fault detection and maintenance of the power grids [1]. This paper presents “A Robust IoT-Based Smart Energy Grid Monitoring System with Robotic Maintenance” to address the constraints in the cloud computing [2] paradigm in power networks— where many issues remain unresolved, such as completely achieving the requirements for significant bandwidth with low latency—this study presents an edge computing [3] system for IoT (Internet of Things) [4] based smart grids. The novel solution develops an innovative software and hardware design and primarily integrates edge computing into conventional cloud-based power networks. As a result, an enormous amount of data produced by the power grids will be examined, handled, and kept at the network’s edge. The edge computing paradigm will let IoT-based smart grids connect and manage large terminals, process and analyze vast amounts of data in real time and encourage the digitalization of smart grids. Furthermore, the IoT-based smart girds, provide privacy protection techniques based on edge computing, data forecasting, and pre-processing schemes of hierarchical decision-making based on task grading (HDTG) [5]. An inbuilt robotic water motor in the suggested model cleans the photovoltaic panels. The numerical simulations provide validation of the proposed model's efficacy.
So to overcome these problems we have come up with the proposed novel model by which the whole thing can be monitored, get alerts on phone or mail, and even automated according to the customer calendar and needs of the system.
1.1 Benefits of Solar Energy Do exorbitant electricity costs and unstable power supplies restrict your ability to use electricity as freely as you would like? Imagine being able to turn on your TV, air conditioning, heater, refrigerator, computer, food processor, and other appliances without any outages thanks to the sun’s energy, all while offering you an incredible chance to reduce your monthly electricity bills. Solar energy investment is the way of the future! It minimizes your carbon impacts, your reliance on centralized power sources, and much more in addition to helping you save money on electricity bills [9]. Let’s examine the main advantages of switching to solar electricity for residential use.

1. INTRODUCTION Today we are facing a huge power problem. With the increase in gadgets, our requirements have increased. Solar energy is the most advanced sustainable power source in this system. Solar energy production is now the most practical and economical form of green energy [6]. We are trying to implement this concept in many sectors starting from small to large sectors like urban areas, Industries, and Individual houses. Researchers are going to convert transports to use this technology to reduce the world’s major problems like pollution. Electric Vehicles have started entering in the market which will again put the loads on the electric power plants [7].

(I) Save lots of money The ability to save money on monthly electricity expenses is the main benefit of using solar energy for residential purposes. Deploying rooftop solar panels can save up to 95% of your monthly electricity bills, according to a combined study by the power distribution company BSES Yamuna Power Limited (BYPL) and the legislative & research body Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW) [10].
