Solar Powered Smart Irrigation System with Battery Backup for Maximum Output Power in Rural Areas by Solar Angle Optimization

Agriculture has become one of the backbones for the development of a country as it helps in economic growth. Being one of the major factors that contribute to the overall development of a country, it has not progressed in the way it should proceed. For proper agriculture and its production timely irrigation is very much important. Although plain land and urban areas are connected to the national grid system and the power can be used for the irrigation, the rural areas (i.e., hilly and mountain) still suffer from the lack of proper irrigation system. Solar energy can be used to generate electricity for powering the water pump along with battery backup system that will continuously supply power to the pump. Modern irrigation technology which has been developed cannot be assumed that it will work in the low economic and developing nations. This research solved the issue of the irrigation in rural areas which is operated from solar energy along with the battery backup system which can be used to supply power during low irradiance and nighttime and gives maximum power for longer time using solar angle optimisation technology which has also benefitted for low carbon emission. This research developed a solar powered smart irrigation system with the battery backup in rural areas by solar angle optimization for economic development.
