The goal of this MQP was to design and implement a photovoltaic (PV) system and Oasis; a stand-alone web-based bidirectional wattmeter to aid Team BEMANY of the Solar Decathlon China 2013 competition in meeting their goal in implementing a zero energy house. To achieve this goal, a wireless digital multimeter with an accuracy of 0.1% with a minimum wireless range of 10m was created to monitor the voltage of the individual panels of the PV array and it relayed the data to a microcontroller based server. This server would then communicate with a router to upload the data to a website. This website served as the graphic user interface for the entire system.
