Solar Powered Sprayer with Automatic Single Axis Tracking Applications

Abstract

The impact of renewable energy sources brings the design of user-friendly equipment to make a pollution-free environment. The novel method is to implement a solar-powered sprayer with a single-axis tracking system that changes the direction of a solar panel to get maximum output from a solar cell. It presents a dependable and reasonable strategy for collecting the maximum efficiency of solar energy. The anti-clogging factor helps the operator for trouble-free operation as well as the longer life span of the nozzle. The power can be used for mobile charging, a led bulb which makes it more economical. It consists of a solar panel of 10W capacity, a 12V DC battery, charged by solar energy received by the solar panel, a DC motor, operated by the battery, a pump, to spray the pesticide and a tank to hold the pesticide. The main objective of the project is to improve the agricultural system and to reduce the human effort and problem associated with the backpack sprayer new equipment is fabricated which will beneficial to farmers and it utilizes renewable energy sources which are ecofriendly in nature. Spraying is one of the most operative and efficient techniques for applying a minimum quantity of liquid through fine droplets to protect the crops.
