Solar powered irrigation system can be anĪppropriate alternative for farmers in the present state of energy crisis in Oman and other countries. One of the applications of this technology is used in irrigation systems for farming. The cost of solar panels has been continuously decreasing which encourages its usage in various sectors.
So, this such system is good for people who live in faraway from the water and electricity networks and even for those who live in cities. Since the solar pumps doesnt relies to the diesel or oil so they consider as a silent and clean system with no air pollution or noise. Also, they doesnt require non-renewable source of power to operate because the dependent of solar power. Photovoltaic pumping systems (PVPs) are easy to be installed in any place and they require less maintenance maybe every 5 to 10 years intervals so that reduce the overall cost, just the cost of the photovoltaic cells and the other equipment needed which consider as the initial capital cost. Photovoltaic generation is an effective approach for using the solar energy. Solar energy is the most ample source of energy in the world. Hence utilizing it in the different fields is a clever idea. Since Oman receives sunlight all 12 months of a year. The increasing demand for energy, the constant decline in existing sources of fossil fuels and the growing alarm regarding environment pollution, have pushed mankind to discover new non-conventional, renewable energy resources such as solar, wind energy, etc. KeywordsSoil Moisture sensors, Arduino Uno, GSM, Solar Power The study is conducted in practically and has achieved the objectives.
So, this project signifies a smart Auto-irrigation system by using soil moisture sensors is connected to the Arduino Uno which act as a controller and a global System for mobile communication which is used to transmit and receive the data between the controller and user. Since the agriculture plays the significant role in improving the countrys economy, an improvement should be applied in order to increase the productivity and expand the quality of crops.
