Harnessing the Power of the Sun: An IOT-Based Solar Irrigation System

This paper introduces an innovative IoT-based solar irrigation system designed to revolutionize agriculture. It enhances productivity and crop quality through intelligent auto-irrigation mechanisms, soil moisture sensors, and an Arduino Mega controller, all connected via a global mobile communication network. Practical implementation successfully met its goals. Solar energy powers the system, improving energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness. IoT technology enables real-time monitoring and control, reducing water wastage and enhancing water management. Soil moisture sensors provide accurate data for tailored irrigation. Automation reduces manual labor, freeing time for other tasks. Evaluation reveals significant improvements in crop yield, quality, and water consumption compared to traditional methods. This demonstrates IoT’s potential for sustainable agriculture in resource-constrained regions, offering valuable insights for diverse settings, fostering a more efficient and sustainable agriculture sector.
