AUTOMATION SYSTEM FOR HYDROPONIC AGRICULTURE USING SOLAR SYSTEM

“ The goal of the Automation System for Hydroponics Using Solar Energy is to use hydroponic technology and renewable solar electricity to create an intelligent, energy-efficient, and environmentally responsible agricultural system. A contemporary farming tec hnique called hydroponics uses water to directly give nutrients to plants in the absence of soil. Using sensors, a microprocessor, relay modules, and Internet of Things technology, the suggested system automates critical agricultural tasks such monitoring temperature, water level, pH value, nutrient concentration (EC), illumination, and water circulation. The technology reduces reliance on traditional energy a nd supports sustainable agriculture by using solar panels and rechargeable batteries to provide a s teady power supply. The Blynk mobile application allows for real-time monitoring and control. A llowing users to operate pumps, fans, and grow lights remotely. The automated control mechanism ensures proper nutrient delivery and environmental conditions for healthy plant growth while minimizing human effort and water wastage. The project improves agricultural productivity, conserves energy, and supports smart farming practices suitable for urban farming, rooftop gardening, and rural area s with limited electr icity availability. The integration of automation and solar energy makes the system cost-effective, reliable, and environmentally friendly. Overall, the project demonstrates the successful implementation of renewable energy and IoT-based automation in hydr oponic farming for future sustainable agriculture applications.
