- <p><em><span>Real-time voltage, current, and power factor monitoring enable this PFC system to integrate solar energy into the grid. It monitors these parameters remotely via an internet connection and can view system data locally on a 16x2 lcd display and remotely via a web or mobile app. A PFC system's ESP32 controls a relay that turns on/off a capacitor bank based on power factor. If the power factor is below one, the capacitor bank activates to compensate for inductive load reactives. This variable-load PFC system can handle resistive and inductive loads. A battery-backed solar panel improves energy efficiency and reliability during grid instability. This intelligent method for smart power factor correction for residential and small commercial applications monitors power factor and reduces reactive power losses at a lower cost than traditional methods. This paper describes the IoT integrated single-phase PFC system development and construction. This solar-integrated PFC system uses an ESP32 to monitor and control real-time voltage, current, and power factor readings from the solar source and the grid. The power factor reading determines when to activate a capacitor bank via relay to compensate for inductive load reactive power. ESP32 can monitor and control resistive and inductive loads and has variable load capabilities. The system can be monitored locally via a 16x2 LCD display and remotely via a web or mobile app. A battery-backed solar panel improves energy efficiency and grid reliability.</span></em></p>
