Energy Efficient Solar Powered Automatic Irrigation System

Irrigation is one of the major requirements of agriculture which requires abundant electric power. Indian farmers are facing a massive problem due to frequent power failures. Solar powered automatic irrigation system can be a suitable alternative for farmers in the present state of energy crisis. This paper proposes an automatic smart irrigation system which uses solar power for irrigation. Solar powered water pump operates automatically based on different soil parameters like Moisture and Temperature. Hence ensures efficient irrigation as it uses solar energy simultaneously whenever a power failure occurs.
