Abstract

The main purpose of this project is to design and develop solar powered irrigation. This project combines the knowledge of electrical and electronic. Solar pump are used on small gardens, farms, and orchards to pump the water to irrigate the plants. It is most economical to pump the water to irrigate the gardens using solar power. Solar powered irrigation can be used to handle of power functions for 12 volts water pump. Solar panel will produce direct current supply and if an alternating current is used, the direct current need to convert to alternating current using an inverter. An irrigation process must be done during the early morning and evening where the sunshine is not at peak power. So, the system needs some restore energy to power up the water pump. The restore energy is back-up energy from the deep cycle battery. It’s useless if we need to switch on the pump manually, so the timer is installed to irrigate the garden automatically at the same time everyday. A tank is used to store the rain water runoff from roof. The water pump will pump the water from the tank to porous pipe to irrigate the garden.
