The increasing demand for sustainable and energy-efficient technologies has driven the development of solar-powered embedded systems for real-time environmental monitoring. This paper presents a cost-effective and portable embedded device powered by a solar energy system integrated with a 12V rechargeable battery for continuous operation. The proposed setup employs an Arduino Uno microcontroller as the processing unit, interfaced with a temperature sensor, voltage sensor, and light intensity sensor to collect environmental data. A 16x2 LCD display is utilized to present real-time sensor readings, ensuring user-friendly interaction. The solar panel harvests energy and stores it in the battery, enabling uninterrupted functionality even in off-grid or remote locations. Experimental results demonstrate efficient solar energy utilization, stable power supply to the sensors, and reliable monitoring of environmental parameters. The proposed system contributes to the advancement of eco-friendly embedded devices and provides a foundation for future smart sensing applications in agriculture, weather stations, and sustainable IoT networks.
