Controlled Solar Powered Irrigation System Based on GSM and Solar Panel

Abstract

These days, irrigation system are generally utilized in agricultural field to lessen the dependency on rain, the vast majority of irrigation system are either having time based automation or directed manually. In these sorts of system water is applied to field based on fixed timeslots which required high labour for observing and furthermore it decreases the field efficiency. This fixed time slot working prompts over irrigation than the real plant requirement and under irrigation when plants required more water in their peak periods. Fall in crop growth rate, late blooming and decrease of the yield are the main faults caused because of water lack. Besides, over irrigation in the root zones prompts sickness of the root zones and vegetation, extra expense for agriculturist, wasting of water and time wastage. Additionally saltiness of the soil can be increased by ceaseless supply of excess water. For working of irrigation system, power is required. So utilization of sun energy for power generation is necessary to handle current energy crises. The main shortcomings of the fixed panel solar system is that because of rotation of the sun, it can't extract most extreme energy from the sun. Solar power based smart irrigation system are solutions to the Indian farmer. This system comprises of sunlight based water pumps along with an automatic water flow control utilizing a moisture sensor and GSM technology. It is the proposed answer for the present emergency condition for the Indian farmers. This system saves power by decreasing the utilization of grid power and monitors water by lessening water misuses. In GSM mode the farmer at his very own place can send instruction to ON and OFF the water supply through pump without really going to the field.
