The hardware implementation of a solar energy system with vehicle-to-home (V2H) and vehicle-to- grid (V2G) options for Newfoundland conditions through Mozilla IoT is discussed in this paper. To illustrate IoT, remote monitoring and control concepts, a prototype - is entirely a 12 V system - is created in the lab. To operate in multiple modes, the system checks the current and voltage parameters. The data is transmitted to the gateway using an ESP 32 microcontroller and the internet of things (IoT). Mozilla IoT is the platform that hosts the Raspberry Pi Things Gateway and serves as a dashboard to remotely control and monitor the system. The data that is transmitted is logged, and the logged data is shown as a graph. This paper presents the system design, details of demo experimental setup in addition to the test results which reveal that the successful implementation of proposed system - with V2H and V2G options - for Newfoundland/ Canada conditions.
