Abstract

Agriculture has taken the role of being the backbone and driving force behind Malaysia's economic strength and prosperity. The agriculture sector has experienced a new trend in the development on off-grid solar powered construction concepts throughout the world over the last decade, with significant endorsement from influential organisations and the implementation of PV powered solar panels. Nowadays, the conventional ways has switched over to renewable sources such as solar system. A benefit of using solar energy to power agricultural water pump systems is that increased water requirements for livestock and irrigation tend to coincide with the seasonal increase of incoming solar energy. When properly designed, these PV systems can also result in significant long-term cost savings and a smaller environmental footprint compared to conventional power systems. A prototype of this PV water pumping system will be demonstrated throughout this project as the load to the system. In this research, a monocrystalline solar panel will be used to measure their efficiency and determine the best installation of solar panel semiconductor type. A solar energy storage plays an important role as an dependency for the supply during the unavailabilty of sunlight. Hence, the installation of solar energy storage leads to identify the best solar controller in order to get a maximum electrical generation output from the solar panel to charge the battery.
