KELURAHAN PETANI HIJAU MODERN: SMART FARMING MENGGUNAKAN TEKNOLOGI PANEL SURYA UNTUK MEWUJUDKAN KAWASAN PERTANIAN MODERN DI KELURAHAN BAKUNG JAYA

The development of automatic plant watering devices has become a major focus in increasing efficiency and effectiveness in plant cultivation. In this context, automatic plant watering devices that use electrical energy sources from solar panels have shown great potential in saving energy and reducing environmental impacts. This tool is designed to replace manual work in watering plants, both in hydroponic systems and sprinkler systems. In hydroponic systems, automatic plant watering devices use soil moisture sensors to detect soil moisture and send commands to the water pump to water periodically. This allows hydroponic plants to receive nutrients continuously and maintain air humidity with automatic fogging. Meanwhile, in sprinkler systems, automatic plant watering devices use solar panels as a source of electrical energy. These solar panels generate electrical energy that is used to power the water pump and sprinkler, thus watering plants automatically without the need for human intervention. The advantages of using solar panel in automatic plant watering devices include the use of renewable energy, easy maintenance, and no greenhouse gas emissions. However, this tool also has disadvantages, such as dependence on sunlight intensity. Thus, the development of automatic plant watering devices using solar panel can help increase plant productivity, save energy, and reduce environmental impacts. This tool can also be integrated with various types of plant cultivation systems, thus providing many benefits in the development of modern agricultural technology.
