The purpose of this study was to implement telecontrol of solar home system. Implementation of Internet of Things in this research is used to support the design of monitoring system to control electric power load generated by solar panel. The design of the system begins with a field comparative study and then simulated before it is manufactured and tested system parameters that include current, power and duration of time when the device connected power load control via internet network. The technique used is to collaborate the value of current and voltage measured by the current and voltage sensors as the value of power used. The results show that during the charging of energy within 10 hours obtained average power of 1.35 Watt when the maximum power is measured at 5.2 Watts. The moment of discharging takes place the battery's reserve energy is capable of switching on 4 lamp loads over a period of 30 minutes with current and average power consumption of 1.16 A and 14.35 Watt respectively when the process of sending data from the microcontroller to web server done within ± 7.9 seconds. Therefore, the system designed to work well and is able to provide convenience for users in controlling and controlling the use of power in real-time at a very long distance.
