The Concept and Design of Solar Powered Sprinkler System Based on IOT Monitoring

Abstract

South Sumatra has an abundant solar energy source waiting to be optimally optimized. This potential is promising in all the economic sectors, such as agriculture. Solar energy application is one of digital farming implementation for agriculture and is expected to ease the farmers' workload. This paper presents the concept and design of a solar-powered sprinkler system based on IoT Monitoring. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proven by an experimental testbed of a solar-powered automatic watering system applied in a plantation. The watering system is activated based on soil moisture and is powered by solar energy. The experimental results show that the Concept and Design of Solar Powered Sprinkler System Based on IOT Monitoring are applicable for any plantation that requires regular watering.
