The application for the patent was published on Feb. 6, under issue no. 06/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The block diagram shows how a solar-powered Internet of Things energy meter with automatic cutoff and real-time monitoring operates. The solar panel at the start of the system produces renewable energy and uses a charge controller to charge the battery. This guarantees correct charging and guards against deep discharge or overcharging of the battery. The system can be powered by an AC/DC source in addition to solar energy. A voltage sensor keeps an eye on the supply or load voltage, while the current sensor (ACS712/CT) detects the load current. The ESP8266 microcontroller, which serves as the system's main controller, receives both of these sensor values. After processing the data, the ESP8266 transmits it to the cloud for remote monitoring and shows it locally on an LCD display. Through a web page, customers can examine the energy consumption, voltage, current, and load status in real time thanks to the cloud platform's ToT -based control and monitoring capabilities. The controller operates a relay that regulates the connected load based on the sensed data. The relay instantly disconnects the load in the event of abnormal conditions like overvoltage, overcurrent, or faults, and the alarm system notifies the user. Safety is guaranteed, and connected equipment is shielded from harm hy this automated cutoff mechanism. The system offers a dependable, effective, and intelligent solution for contemporary energy management with solar backup, real-time monitoring, cloud-based control, and safety measures. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT 1. A solar panel The primary renewable energy source m this system is the solar panel. In order TO run The system and charge the battery, it transforms sunlight into dt:drical energy. 2. Controller for Charge The solar panel's electricity is controlled by the charge controller before being sent to the battery. It guarantees the battery lasts longer and operates safely by preventing deep draining and overcharging. 3. A battery The energy produced by the solar panel is stored in the battery. When sunlight is scarce, it provides the system with power, ensuring uninterrupted operation. 4. AC/DC power This is the external power source that comes from other AC/DC sources or the grid. It ensures dependability by serving as a backup power source in the event that solar energy is insufficient. 5. Sensors (Current & Voltage) Current sensor (ACS712) measures load current; voltage sensor monitors supply voltagt; for abnormal conditions . 6. ESP8266 Controller The primary microcontroller with Wi-Fi functionality is the ESP8266. It gathers information from sensors, processes it, manages the relay, and transmits it to the Internet of Things cloud. The LCD display is also updated by it. ~ 7. Load Control Relay ~ To tum the load (appliances) ON or OFF, the relay functions as a switch. Under unusual circumstances, Cutoff & Alarm When dangerous situations, like overload or short circuit, arise, the alarm notifies the user. The cutoff mechanism protects the system and appliances by cutting off the load. 9. LCD Screen Important data such as voltage, current, power, and system status are displayed on the LCD. It enables the user to keep an eye on data locally without requiring internet connectivity. 10. loT Platform & Website Cloud stores data for remote monitoring and control through a user-friendly web interface. EMONLIB LIBRARY Electrical metrics,including voltage, current, power, and energy usage,are measured using the EmonLib software. It keeps an eye on the input signals all the time, computes precise averages, and sends them to the Arduino application for energy analysis in real time. BL Y NK Tl'IHHA.H.Y For Intem~fof Things applications, the hardware is connected to the Blynk Cloud using the Blynk library. Thfough a web dashboard or mobile app, customers may remotely control the device and view energy dat~1in real time."
