Design, Construction and Performance Test of Solar Based Automatic Irrigation System

Abstract

Solar modules are devices that clearly convert sunlight into electricity and offer a practical solution to the problem of power generation in remote areas. This project involves the development of an automatic solar radiation tracker that could be further used for agriculture purpose, making use of GSM module as the control system. Fossil fuels are relatively short- term energy source consequently; the uses of alternative sources such as solar energy are becoming more wide spread. To make solar energy more variable, the efficiency of solar array systems must be maximized. This is a hybrid hardware/ software prototype, which automatically provides best alignment of solar panel with the sun and to get maximum output of electricity. The system will be implemented for irrigation purpose where in the irrigation system will be controlled using GSM technology. That’s how we can control our irrigation through our mobile
