Plug and Play Home Energy Generation with Secure IoT control

The goal of team SunBeam is to design a system that gives a customer plug and play access and control over their home solar energy generation and power. Our design will ensure security and ease of use.

=Problem Definition= We will design a system that gives a customer access and control over their home solar energy generation and power. The user will be able to view the status of their system including the status of the current power being generated, the light conditions outside, and the temperature. They will be able to control the system in various ways, such as scheduling operating hours for generation and power use and directly controlling the system such as powering it on and off. Our design will include a secure API to encourage web development and integration with the Internet of Things.

Background
Plug and play photovoltaic generating systems already exist in elementary forms and small sizes, for example 1kW size can be bought at a big box store. The project centers on building a secure control and communications interface that works through the Internet of Things(IoT). The unit should be subject to control remotely through the internet, receiving and implementing commands to modify energy production and storage.
