Introduction

A solar powered irrigation system


is a sustainable solution that
harnesses the power of the sun to
provide water for agricultural
purposes. It is an eco-friendly
alternative to traditional irrigation
systems that rely on fossil fuels or
grid electricity. By utilizing solar
energy, farmers can reduce their
carbon footprint and decrease
their reliance on non-renewable
energy sources.
Technology Behind Solar
Irrigation
Solar powered irrigation systems utilize
photovoltaic cells to convert sunlight into
electricity, which powers water pumps.
These systems can be integrated with
existing irrigation infrastructure, making
them a versatile and scalable solution.
Site Assessment:
Before installing a solar powered irrigation system, a thorough site assessment
is conducted to determine the feasibility and optimal placement of the system
components. Factors such as sunlight exposure, terrain, and water source
availability are taken into consideration.

Solar Panel Placement:


The solar panels are strategically placed to maximize exposure to sunlight
throughout the day. They are typically installed on a mounting structure, such
as a pole or a roof, at an angle that optimizes solar energy absorption.

Wiring:
The solar panels are connected to the irrigation system through a series of
wiring. This wiring allows the solar energy captured by the panels to be
converted into electrical energy that powers the irrigation system. Proper
wiring and connections are essential for the efficient and safe operation of the
system.
