JARAMILLO, Kevin Rodrigo Orozco  and  MENDIETA, Ángel José Ordóñez. Design and implementation of a sensor network for monitoring solar radiation levels in the city of Loja. Maskay [online]. 2020, vol.10, n.1, pp.44-55. ISSN 1390-6712.  https://doi.org/10.24133/maskay.v10i1.1523.

The present investigation focused on the design and implementation of a system for monitoring solar radiation levels, in the city of Loja, Ecuador. The solar radiation levels monitoring system is based on the development of a sensor network, in which two ultraviolet (UV) sensors have been placed, representing the nodes of the network, these are communicated in a wired way and wireless, with the base station, which represents the core of the network, where data processing, acquisition and management is performed. The base station manages the data collected by the UV sensors, these data are linked to an application for mobile phones, with Android operating system, in the application you can visualize the level of solar radiation in real time, the history of the data and the respective preventions, according to the level of the ultraviolet index (IUV) presented. In turn, the implementation of a solar light was included, for a direct visualization of solar radiation levels.
