Abstract

A revolutionary strategy for overcoming the difficulties of contemporary agriculture has emerged: the merging of solar power and intelligent automation in irrigation systems. This study examines a solar-powered smart irrigation system's conception, installation, and effects with an eye towards how it can transform agricultural practices. This technology optimises water use, improves crop yields, and lessens the environmental impact of farming by utilising solar energy for both electricity and data-driven decision-making. This thesis demonstrates the effectiveness of solar-powered smart irrigation in encouraging sustainable agriculture through real-world case studies and empirical evidence. This technology offers a viable route to robust and environmentally friendly food production systems as the world struggles with resource shortages and climate change.
