In the field of agriculture, use of proper method of irrigation is important because the  main reason is the lack of rains and scarcity of land reservoir water. The continuous extraction of water from earth is reducing the water level due to which lot of land is coming slowly in the zones of  un-irrigated land. Another very important reason of this is due to unplanned use of water due to which a significant amount of water goes waste. The system derives power from solar energy through photovoltaic cells. Hence, dependency on erratic commercial power is not required. In this paper we use solar energy which is used to operate the irrigation pump. The circuit comprises of sensor parts built using op-amp IC. Op-amp’s are configured here as a comparator. Two stiff  probes are inserted in the soil to sense whether the soil is wet  or dry. A microcontroller is used to control the whole system by monitoring the sensors and when sensors sense dry condition of soil, then microcontroller will send command to relay driver IC the contacts of which are used to switch on the motor and it will switch off the motor when the soil is in wet condition. The microcontroller does the above job as it receives the signal from the sensors through the output of the comparator, and these signals operate which is stored in ROM of the microcontroller. The condition of the pump i.e., ON/OFF is displayed on a 16X2 LCD which is interfaced to the microcontroller. Further it can be enhanced in future by interfacing it with a GSM modem to gain control over the switching operation of the motor.

This paper aimed at assessing the economic and financial viability of solar-powered irrigation of tomato crop in Jordan Valley. Data were collected from 16 tomato farms that use solar-powered irrigation system. Another 16 farms with diesel-powered irrigation system was investigated for comparative reasons. Descriptive statistics, Cost Function Analysis (CFA), Life-cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA), Water Productivity (WP) and the financial indicators of Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Payback Period (PP) and Benefit to Cost Ratio (B/C) were the main economic and financial analytical tools used in this study. The results of the study revealed that costs of inputs, labor costs and equipment and maintenance costs have had a lower adverse impact on the total revenues level when using solar-powered irrigation system. The results also indicated the preference of the investigated financial indicators (NPV, IRR, PP and B/C ratio) when solar-powered irrigation is used compared to diesel-powered irrigation. The results also revealed a lower cost of life of the farm under the use of solar-powered irrigation. The governmental policies and programs should be directed toward the concepts of renewable energy in general and solar energy uses in agriculture in particular. Special agricultural extension plans in training and capacity building of farmers and extension workers on the use of solar energy in irrigation of agricultural crops should be developed. Cooperation in the fields of solar energy between the Ministry of Agriculture and related parties such as the Royal Scientific Society and the Ministry of Energy should be initiated to conduct specialized researches in the fields of solar energy use in agriculture.

In this article, a special type of microcontroller named as Arduino Nano 3.0 (ATMega 328) is used for the operation of an automatic irriga-tion system which is powered by solar energy. Here, the resistivity of soil is measured with the use of electrode (resistivity sensor). Through this type of irrigation system the farmer can use automatic ‘ON’ and ‘OFF’ system for water pump for irrigation. A complete hardware implementation is also presented in this paper.

Abstract This study proposes a sustainable solar-powered irrigation system (SPIS) for a 75-hectares rice farm in Krandegan Village, Purworejo Regency, Indonesia. The existing water pumping system uses diesel engines which cost around Rp. 200 million per year that cannot be provided by the farmers. The SPIS was designed based on water requirements calculated according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). The technical design of SPIS used Lorentz Compass considering local solar energy sources and the availability of SPIS components in the local markets. The entire farm in Krandegan requires 11 SPISs with a total capacity of the solar panel of 20.8 kWp. Also, the SPISs use 11 centrifugal DC pumps; 10 surface and 1 submersible type. The SPIS in Krandegan would require a total cost of Rp. 1.29 billion. Without the financial support of the capital costs from other parties, the simple payback time (SPT) would be around 6.5 years, which is good for a solar photovoltaic (PV) project. SPIS is not only a viable solution to replace diesel engines in supplying water to the rice farm in Krandegan, but is also in line with the seventh target of Indonesia’s Village sustainable development goals (SDGs).
