Challenges we ran into

hallenges we ran into
While developing SolarTrack, we encountered several challenges:

Data Accuracy: Integrating reliable weather APIs and ensuring accurate solar irradiation measurements in varying conditions was a challenge.
Solution: We fine-tuned data collection algorithms and validated the accuracy by cross-referencing multiple data sources.

Real-Time Processing: Processing and displaying real-time data without lag required efficient backend handling.
Solution: We optimized the data pipeline using asynchronous programming techniques to handle high volumes of incoming data from sensors.

Energy Efficiency of the System: SolarTrack itself needs to be energy-efficient to make the system sustainable.
Solution: We designed the system to use low-power IoT sensors and energy-efficient cloud services for data processing.
