        abstract = {Access to safe drinking water and reliable energy sources continues to be a major concern in rural and remote regions. This paper presents the design and implementation of a cloud-connected monitoring system for a photovoltaic-powered water purification unit, developed to provide a sustainable and efficient solution for water treatment in off-grid areas. The system operates using solar energy and incorporates a multi-stage purification process to remove physical, chemical, and biological contaminants, ensuring the production of safe drinking water. An embedded microcontroller is used to monitor important parameters such as solar panel output, battery condition, water flow rate, and water quality indicators. These parameters are continuously collected and transmitted to a cloud platform using IoT-based communication. The cloud system enables real-time monitoring, data storage, and performance analysis through user-friendly web or mobile interfaces. The integration of cloud monitoring enhances system reliability by allowing early detection of faults and supporting predictive maintenance. It also reduces the need for manual supervision, making the system suitable for remote and resource-limited environments. The proposed system is cost-effective, energy-efficient, and scalable for wider deployment.
Overall, this work demonstrates how the combination of solar energy, water purification technologies, and cloud-based monitoring can improve access to clean water while supporting sustainable development goals related to health, clean energy, and environmental protection.},
