Abstract

The proposed irrigation system is powered with solar panel integrated with sun tracker. As these solar trackers generate more electricity than the traditional fixed solar panel [5] due to increased direct exposure to solar rays at every instant of day, its power efficiency can be improved to a maximum of 45% depending on the geographic location of the tracking system. The utilization of photovoltaic (PV) off grid solar system could be the solution for pumping and irrigation system. The amount of power generated by the solar tracking system was compared with the power generated by fixed solar panels. The experimental results indicate that compared to the power generated by fixed solar panels, the solar tracking system generated about 20% to 25% more Power. Solar Tracking System is the flow of electricity. The electrical power generated by solar panel depends on the intensity of the solar isolation.
