“…The GAWS is made up of four main components. These are solar-powered wireless sensor units (WSUs), solarpowered wireless control center (WCC), solar-powered groundwater pumps [37,38] and solar-powered wirelessenabled irrigation control valves [39,40]. Basically, the solar-powered WSUs obtain and transmit information about soil moisture content as depicted in Fig.…”

Towards sustainableagriculture, the management of scarce water resources has become more crucial. In this article, we proffer a green automated wireless system (GAWS) aimed at maximizing and efficiently utilizing water resources for irrigation. The proposed irrigation system is a green technology which will be powered exclusively by solar energy. In its operation, it uses solar-powered wireless sensors for obtaining and transmitting information about soil moisture content of different segments on a given farm. The GAWS will ensure that irrigation is done only when necessary via a solar-powered irrigation control centre. For optimal irrigation, the automated intelligent control centre is designed to trigger solar-powered groundwater pumps wirelessly to execute necessary irrigation for a particular portion of the farm and fall back on an external irrigation system if that proves insufficient. It is envisaged that the proposed irrigation system will improve total crop yields by maximizing the utility of scarce water resources from both internal and external irrigation sources. It will also minimize the cost of time and labour involved in irrigation management, harness renewable energy and be environmentally friendly.

“…However, they demonstrated that the cash flow of surface irrigation by solar pumping was very high in this case, the higher pumping costs are caused by a larger size of the PV installation. Furthermore, Hossain et al [115] performed research in Bangladesh using a solar pump with drip, furrow and flood techniques for growing brinjal, tomato, wheat and boro rice. The results showed that the water savings in the case of drip to irrigate brinjal was estimated at 53.25% and that of tomato was equal to 56.16%.…”

Climate change has become a major constraint to the development of rain-fed agriculture due to the decline of rainfall. Therefore, irrigated agriculture is an alternative allowing farmers to have more access to water in order to meet crop water requirements. However, irrigated agriculture faces a major constraint related to the accessibility of energy sources used in pumping water. In general, the most common energy sources used in pumping water for irrigation are fuel and electricity. Nevertheless, they are very expensive, are not always accessible particularly in rural areas in Africa and have a negative impact on the environment; hence the need to find alternatives to solve this problem. This review focuses on the technical and economic feasibility of solar irrigation pumps and the impact of their use on the environment. Several aspects related to solar pumping have been discussed, namely the components of the solar pumping system, the energy source used, the principle of operation of the system, the technical, economic, and environmental feasibility. Reviews show that the use of solar irrigation pumps is a technically and economically feasible alternative in several areas with less environmental impact.

“…Dengan sumber daya alam yang berlimpah sangat disayangkan, mereka kesulitan mengelola lahannya dikarenakan masih mengandalkan irigasi konvensional dengan menimba air menggunakan ember. Pada lokasi tertentu, sistem pompa air untuk irigasi merupakan salah satu pilihan terbaik [1]. Kondisi tersebut dapat dipermudah apabila menggunakan teknologi PV untuk memompa air dari sumber mata air ke lahan pertanian.…”

Located in the tropical region, Indonesia has great potential for solar power plants. This can be used as an alternative energy to meet electricity needs that are useful for managing agricultural land. This paper discusses the stand alone PV design for a water pump that has an output discharge of 60 liters per minute which will be used for planting water spinach plants in an area of 100 m2 in the Pancoran Sub-district, Depok City. The results show that to meet the pump electricity needs, it takes two PVs each with 80 W power capacity, one solar charge controller unit with 20 A capacity, and one battery unit with 100 Ah capacity. The average output power is 72.35 Wh with 18.68% efficiency. Terletak di daerah tropis, Indonesia memiliki potensi yang besar untuk pembangkit listrik tenaga surya. Hal ini dapat dimanfaatkan sebagai salah satu energi alternatif untuk memenuhi kebutuhan listrik yang berguna untuk mempermudah pengelolaan lahan pertanian. Makalah ini membahas mengenai desain stand alone PV untuk pompa air yang memiliki debit keluaran sebesar 60 liter per menit yang digunakan untuk irigasi tanaman kangkung pada area seluas 100m2 di Kecamatan Pancoran, kota Depok. Hasil menunjukan bahwa untuk memenuhi kebutuhan listrik pompa air, dibutuhkan dua buah PV dengan kapasitas masing-masing sebesar 80 W, satu unit solar charge controller dengan kapasitas 20 A, dan satu unit baterai dengan kapasitas 100 Ah. Daya keluaran rata-rata adalah sebesar 72,35 Wh dengan efisiensi 18,68%.
