Photovoltaic Chicken Coop Visual Monitoring and Management System Solution

Published: 2026-05-18 11:31:14

A livestock farmer, looking to reduce high electricity costs, has installed a photovoltaic (PV) power system on the roof of their chicken coop. The goal is to use clean energy to replace grid power for driving fans, feeders, lighting, and other equipment.

 

However, since the management system still relies on traditional methods—where each device requires manual meter reading and inspections—this has led to a heavy workload and significant management burden, seriously affecting work efficiency and overall management. Therefore, the farmer urgently needs a system that can automatically monitor PV power generation status, support remote alarms, and enable control of chicken coop equipment, in order to achieve digital management upgrades.

 

To address this, WideIOT deploys industrial IoT gateways that can collect data in real time from PV inverters, smart meters, environmental sensors, PLC controllers, cameras, and more. The gateway uploads PV power data, chicken coop environmental conditions, and equipment status to an IoT cloud platform. The platform provides visual data displays, monitoring, alerts, management, control, and data analysis functions, ultimately improving PV and farming efficiency while reducing labor costs and inspection workloads.

Key Features

1. Collects real-time inverter data and displays reports on current power generation, daily generation, and total cumulative generation.

2. Monitors multi-dimensional information inside the chicken coop, including temperature and humidity, ammonia/CO₂ levels, light intensity, and video surveillance.

3. Enables remote control of PLC-connected equipment such as fans, feeders, lighting, water curtains, and roller blinds.

4. Automatically generates alarms for PV, environmental, or equipment anomalies, sending notifications via WeChat, SMS, or email.

5. Establishes a digital work order management system for querying and managing inspection and maintenance tasks.
