Automatic Irrigation System Using Solar Tracking Device

1. Introduction

This project is based on solar system and electricity. We may operate in agriculture with sunlight. The people who work in agriculture will benefit from this achievement. Solar tracker is the use of solar panels. Its unique feature is that wherever the sun moves, the solar panel automatically faces the sun to track solar energy. Electricity is created using this solar energy (Lokhande, 2014). These electrical energies will be used by the engine to drive the water pump in and out. In order to generate through the sprinklers, water is therefore pumped out of a well or any other lake, etc. following the motor. All agricultural areas will receive water through sprinklers. This system is referred to as solar tracker irrigation. The photovoltaic system can power the pump. The solar system's and the photovoltaic panels' right angles is maintained by a microcontroller system that tracks the sun's location. The development of an autonomous watering system using photovoltaic panels is the major goal of the effort. In order so as to run the water pump and keep the optimal watering conditions in place.

Irrigation systems are those that distribute aqua to the main places. How well the irrigation worked will depend on system chosen. Agriculture was essential to supporting life on Earth since ancient times. The tool for improving agriculture will be the type of irrigation system used. Around the world, there are many different kinds of irrigation systems in use, and each one has encountered issues in some way. There are actually just a handful contemporary irrigation systems in use, and they almost always fall short in some way. Engineers are working to develop integrated automated devices in order to create complex systems that aid humans in their activities so the system can function automatically without human intervention. Automation in the irrigation industry will play a significant role. The alternate solution in this kind of circumstance is an automation irrigation process using solar tracking. The global agricultural system relies on water in the soil and is constantly in need of improvement. The soil's moisture content will decrease as a result of the ongoing removal of soil water. The intended irrigation system must be used to solve this problem. Significantly less water will be wasted if the available water is used more effectively. A solar-powered autonomous irrigation system must be created as a result. The autonomous irrigation process with solar tracking system absorbs sunlight using photovoltaic cells. This system is not dependent on power as a result. Solar energy is used to power the irrigation pump in this autonomous irrigation system with solar tracking.
