Solar-Grow: Advancing Agriculture with Solar Smart Irrigation
Keywords:
IoT, Renewable energy, Smart irrigation, Solar panels, Solar powerAbstract
This document is a research on solar-powered smart irrigation system which is an innovative solution that combines renewable energy, advanced sensing technologies, and intelligent algorithms to optimize irrigation processes in agriculture. This paper aimed to design and implement a sustainable and efficient system that addresses the challenges of traditional irrigation methods while minimizing energy consumption and environmental impact. The paper focused on harnessing solar power as a renewable energy source to drive the irrigation system. Solar panels were employed to generate electricity, which powered sensors, actuators, and communication devices. This allowed for real-time monitoring of crucial environmental parameters such as soil moisture, temperature, and humidity.
