Abstract
The projected population of India being 1500 million by 2050 and agriculture remaining as the primary source of livelihood in rural areas, the focus should be on the increase of productivity in agriculture land. Though our country claims to have developed in terms of science and technology, erratic powersupply or complete breakdown for hours together has almost become a regular affair. Solar power is being increasingly utilized worldwide as a renewable source of energy. India has huge untapped solar off-grid opportunities.
Indian farmers are facing the power issues when to comes to irrigation and several agriculatural practices. In such situation we can go for an alternate solution like solar.
There will be n-number of work in field like water pumping that to in required amount depending upon crop and time. Some time excess of water and some deficiency of water makes crop difficult to grow. In such situation automation play an important role to maintain water level without human interaction.
The main advantage of this project is optimizing the power usage through water resource management and also saving government’s free subsidiary electricity. This proves an efficient and economy way of irrigation and this will enhance the performance of agriculture. There are situations where excess or scarcity of water is seen in the fields, where automated systems are implemented.
