Abstract :
This paper describes the development of a solar powered wireless landfill monitoring system. A remote data acquisition system was constructed for collecting data on the temperature and gas concentration in a mini landfill setup. The data acquisition setup is powered by solar power and data transmission conducted wirelessly. The system consists of temperature and methane sensors, wireless data acquisition system, solar charging system and graphical user interface via LabVIEW.
