Automatic Pump Controller for Solar Photovoltaic Irrigation System

The need of electricity for rural areas, especially for water supply systems, is crucial for farmers. Stand-alone solar systems are applicable for areas no power grid, in this system is operated when the radiation is sufficient to supply the system with can be stored water and energy. The main purpose of this journal is to develop a solar watering system capable of performing irrigation task automatically. This system uses sensor that determines soil moisture by soil moisture sensor for watering pump, water level indicator also its pumping system from well to water tank that detects ultrasonic sensor. In this system, a pump is powered by solar photovoltaic which controlled by Arduino Uno. And this journal also discusses the prototype design of microcontroller based on water irrigation which detects a soil if watering is required then the water will be maintained at the constant level. And the system is designed by applying an ultrasonic sensor, an Arduino Uno microcontroller, and a pumping machine in order to automatically switch the water filling. The prototype has shown that the system able to reduce wasteful electrical energy and human intervention at minimum cost as the entire system runs only using solar energy. The prototype can be proposed to handle the water pump problems due to the utilizations of the manual switch as well as the floating ball tap to stop the water tank filling.
