The rising growth of renewable energy systems has increased the demands for efficient monitoring, control, and management systems to cope with issues associated with intermittency, reliability, and energy efficiency. In this perspective, the Internet of Things (IoT) has gained prominence as an enabler of real-time data acquisition, smart analytics, and seamless connectivity for decentralized energy systems. This paper provides a thorough assessment of the implications of IoT applications for shaping a sustainable future for renewable energy systems through a critical evaluation of its pros, cons, and new trends. The research work explores the intensification of energy management, maintenance, fault detection, energy theft protection, and smart grid integration through IoT, aiming at enhancing operational efficiency and robustness of energy systems. In addition, actual applications of IoT technology for solar, wind, hydroelectric, and battery-based energy storage systems are examined through real-life examples of various applications of IoT technology. However, this study identifies important limitations of IoT technology, including issues of data privacy, security, scalability, increased energy consumption, and higher technology costs for sustainable applications of IoT technology. Finally, future research development of integrated applications of IoT with intelligence, machine learning, edge computing, blockchain technology, and next-gen communication systems is discussed. The result of this work reveals that with proper technological development, IoT technology has an important role to play for shaping a sustainable, efficient, and reliable future for renewable energy systems.
