Abstract

In the current era of globalization, technology is a one of the best initiatives for improving the quality of aquatic environments. Developing a fish tank waste cleaner powered by solar energy represents an innovative approach to meeting the demand for eco-friendly and efficient cleaning solutions in aquatic settings. By utilizing solar energy to operate the waste cleaner, this project aims to contribute to environmental conservation and enhance energy efficiency in maintaining fish tanks. Traditional methods of fish tank cleaning often rely on manual labour or non-renewable energy sources, which can harm the environment and are not very efficient. The primary objective of this project is to use solar power to create an underwater cleaner for fish tanks. The goal is to improve cleaning efficiency and utilize energy more effectively. The aim is to demonstrate that this project can effectively clean fish tanks using sustainable methods that benefit the environment and save energy. To achieve this, This project is combining solar panels, microcontrollers such as ESP8266, and various electronic components such as IR sensors, motor drivers, DC motors, relay modules, DC water pumps, and rechargeable batteries to create a solar-powered fish tank cleaner. Additionally, This project integrating an IoT system to enable real-time controlling by users. This project is continuously testing and refining the cleaner in real-world scenarios, optimizing its functionality and software to ensure it performs well and conserves energy. The solar power system consistently generates and stores energy, effectively powering the fish tank waste cleaner. Real-world testing has demonstrated its effectiveness underwater, showing that it is possible to manage fish tank waste sustainably and efficiently. The result shows the proposed project able to clean the fish tank with the provided power supply.
