Abstract
This paper presents the development of an intelligent photovoltaic system including a two-axis solar tracker with IoT monitoring, artificial intelligence algorithms for fault detection, and a thermal management system. The system architecture is described along with hardware and software solutions. Special attention is given to automatic solar tracking, real-time data analysis, and predictive maintenance technologies. The implementation of the proposed solutions improves energy generation efficiency and reduces operational costs.
