A sunlight-based framework is the device for orienting solar photovoltaic modules and solar thermal collectors toward the sun. Thinking about the state of the art of the innovation, successful strategy, robust control philosophy and the potential added benefit of different research work which can be employed on an extensive scale in maintainable manner. Presently we are entering in a new period of processing innovation i.e., Internet of things (IoT). IoT is a sort of “universal global neural network” in the cloud which associates various things. The IoT is an intelligently connected devices and framework contain brilliant machine connecting and communicate with different machines, environments, objects and infrastructures and the radio frequency identification (RFID) and sensor network technologies will rise to meet this new challenge. Furthermore, the investigation gives the different related works on IoT empowered solar panel monitoring modules for the proficient way of gain power from the solar radiation.
