This study focuses on the development of a the development of a Soil - Based Microbial Fuel Cell Soil - Based Microbial Fuel Cell (SMFC) storage (SMFC) storage prototype designed to provide prototype integrated with an IoT - enabled monitoring alternative lighting for households, poultry houses, and system as an alternati ve power source for households, piggeries in Dumangas. The system integrates an poultry, and piggeries in the Municipality of Dumangas. Internet of Things (IoT) - enabled monitoring feature that Designed for remote areas where electricity is limited or tracks energy generation, storage, and consumption in unavailable, and as a backup power source during real time through a cloud - based dashboard. brownouts, the SMFC harnesses the metabolic activity of soil microbes to generate sustainable electrical By utilizing readily available soil resources and energy. integrating modern IoT technology, this project aimed to create a sustainable and practical backup power source The prototype consists of interconnected SMFC for small - scale rural applications. The system is units combined with an IoT - based monitoring system intended not only as a solution for off - grid areas but also that monitors real - time data on energy generation, as a reliable lighting source during brownouts, storage, and consumption. A cloud - based dashboard contributing to energy resilience and promoting provides users with up - to - date information, improving renewable energy adoption within the community. accessibility, maintenance and energy management, especially in isolated rural areas. II. METHODOLOGY Initial testing shows the SMFC can provide Conceptual Framework sufficient power to light small - scale setups such as poultry houses, piggeries, and basic household lighting during power interruptions. The integration of IoT This framework illustrates how local, natural resources technology ensures continuous monitoring and reliable like soil can be converted into useful electrical energy, performance, making it a practical, eco - friendly solution monitored, and managed efficiently using IoT, making for agricultural communities. This project aimed to it a practical and sustainable solution for rural support Dumangas’ move towards renewable, locally - Dumangas communities. sourced energy alternatives, promoting sustainability and energy resilience in rural and farming sectors.
