Solar Powered Auto Irrigation System

The solar powered auto irrigation system uses solar energy to power irrigation systems for agriculture due to lack of rain and scarce water resources. A microcontroller monitors soil sensors to determine if the soil is dry or wet and controls a relay driver IC to switch the motor on if dry and off if wet, thereby automating irrigation. The system's operation is displayed on an LCD and could be enhanced with a GSM modem to remotely control the motor switching.

Solar Powered Auto Irrigation System

Solar Powered Auto Irrigation System is a project that uses solar energy to
power irrigation systems. In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of
irrigation is important because the main reason is the lack of rains & scarcity of land
reservoir water. The continuous extraction of water from earth is reducing the water
level due to which a lot of land is coming slowly in the zones of un-irrigated land.
Another very important reason of this is due to unplanned use of water to which a
significant amount of water goes as waste. For this purpose, we use this automatic
plant irrigation system powered by solar energy.
A microcontroller is used to control the whole system by monitoring the
sensors and when sensors sense dry condition of soil, then the microcontroller will
send command to relay driver IC the contacts of which are used to switch on the
motor and it will switch off the motor when the soil is in wet condition.
The microcontroller does the above job as it receives the signal from the
sensors through the output of the comparator, and these signals operate under the
control of software which is stored in ROM of the microcontroller. The condition of
the pump is displayed on an LCD which is interfaced to the microcontroller. Further
the project can be enhanced by interfacing it with a GSM modem to gain control
over the switching operation of the motor.
