System design of smart solar photovoltaic water pump in Indonesia

Abstract

Indonesia has a vast agricultural land. However, during the dry season, agricultural land does not get enough water. The problem can be solved by using the abundant amount of solar light during the dry season. It is Smart Solar Photovoltaic Water Pump (SSPWP). This research is system design of SSPWP. It consists of Photovoltaic panel, solar charger control, accumulator, inverter, water pump, mobile phone, and alarm. The working principle of the system is a solar cell in Photovoltaic panel exposes solar light then it produces direct current electricity. It is supplied to the water pump to irrigate farm. This system is connected to a mobile phone so that farmer can control irrigation for their farm automatically. System design consists Electric water Pump 220 Volt AC 200 Watt, with four Photos voltaic panels 12 - 36 Volt 180-Watt Peak Maximum power 720 Watt, and 72 Ampere Hour Battery.
