Abstract

The Development of Solar-Powered Smart Farm System with Blynk Application is a novel solution aimed at tackling significant difficulties in contemporary agriculture, such as resource inefficiency, environmental sustainability, and labour-intensive operations. This initiative integrates solar energy with advanced IoT technologies to provide an automated and intelligent agricultural system. Solar panels function as the principal energy source, guaranteeing sustainable and economical operation, even in isolated regions, by supplying power to an ESP-32 microprocessor and an array of sophisticated sensors. These sensors, including soil moisture, pH, and DHT22 modules, deliver real-time data on essential environmental factors like soil health, temperature, and humidity. The Blynk program processes and visualises this data, allowing effortless remote monitoring and management of agricultural activities using an intuitive smartphone interface. The technology optimises irrigation and fertigation by automating water and nutrient delivery schedules according to real-time sensor data, therefore minimising waste and improving resource efficiency. The system specialises in chilli production, a crop characterised by significant demand and economic value, utilising precision fertigation techniques to guarantee maximum plant development and output. This project utilises IoT technology, renewable energy, and smart automation to convert conventional agricultural methods into a sustainable, efficient, and scalable paradigm, therefore enhancing food security and promoting environmental conservation.
