Integrated Solar-Powered Automatic Water Irrigation System: Monitoring Soil Moisture and Solar Irradiance with Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) in a Hybrid Power Framework

Plants require sunlight for photosynthesis, a vital process to produce carbohydrates using water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. During this intricate process, plants convert the energy from sunlight into chemical energy. However, excessive, or intense sunlight hampers photosynthesis efficiency, a phenomenon known as photoinhibition. Intense solar exposure makes plants wither, emphasizing the importance of adequate watering to prevent dehydration. Innovative solutions such as integrating solar radiation sensors into irrigation systems offer a promising way to safeguard plants from drying out and wilting. By constantly monitoring solar radiance levels and sprinkling water to keep leaves moist, this technology ensures plants receive the right amount of hydration. Implementing such advancements fosters the health and growth of plants and shields them from the detrimental effects of drought and excessive sunlight, presenting a valuable solution for sustainable plant care.
