Unified modular solar collector monitoring and control system with balancing capabilities and stagnation protection has been developed. The automated control module performs continuous monitoring of operational modes and temperature parameters of the system, as well as switches the mode in the case of certain edge conditions are reached. Stagnation protection has been implemented as a special emergency operational mode where surplus heat is transferred to the high-capacity heating circuit that will protect collector and improve the sustainability of the system. It was shown that the proposed system is capable to utilize any type of heat sources without replacing the control module while modular architecture allows easy upscaling for building complex smart systems.
