Abstract
A solar based irrigation system is proposed in this paper to harness maximum solar energy which is further used to power the designed system. Energy from sun is used as the power that facilitates us from uninterrupted power supply to control the overall system. The piece of work for automatic irrigation system is performed by moisture sensor by sensing the moisture of soil. Also, to make the automation more advanced a temperature sensor is also installed in the system. It has a simple circuit structure using Arduino UNO and GSM module that makes it applicable even in remote areas. After the level of soil approaches its lowest and highest threshold value motor starts and stops automatically respectively. A comprehensive analysis of operation, model and design of proposed system in GSM mode is given. Finally, a prototype of the smart plant irrigation system is presented.
