Abstract
In modern agriculture, reliance on conventional energy sources and inefficient irrigation methods poses challenges, such as high operational costs, overuse of water, and environmental concerns. Farmers often struggle with resource scarcity, energy dependency, and the inability to optimize water distribution based on field conditions, which affects crop yield and sustainability.To address these challenges, this project presents a solar-powered irrigation system that integrates renewable energy and automation. The system harnesses solar energy through photovoltaic panels, employs soil moisture and temperature sensors to monitor field conditions, and automates water delivery using a microcontroller-based control unit. This innovative approach ensures resource- efficient irrigation, reduces energy costs, and promotes sustainable farming practices.
