Integrating Renewable Energy Sources with IOT Systems for Smart Farming

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a technology that shows promise in offering effective and dependable solutions for the advancement of various domains. IoT technology is currently being employed to create automated systems for the maintenance and surveillance of agricultural farms, with the aim of reducing the need for human intervention. The primary objective of the study is to investigate the integration of renewable energy sources with IoT systems for the purpose of enhancing smart farming practices. This study also examined an IoT based system for monitoring, operating, and controlling temperature, humidity, and soil moisture in a land area. The system aimed to make use of renewable resources, in an effective and efficient manner. The projected system incorporates several input and output devices coupled to a power source for energy supply, as well as temperature & humidity sensors as input devices. Additionally, moisture & motor pump are utilized as output devices. The suggested methodology is cost-effective and easily implementable in sufficiently spacious areas suitable for cultivating crops, such as gardens and rooftops. Given the current trend towards increased reliance on renewable energy sources, as the primary power source presents an extra advantage.
