dc.description.abstractThis study presents and assesses the novelty of a cutting-edge solar-powered automated irrigation system that incorporates a single-axis solar tracker. The research entails the meticulous development of a prototype, followed by comprehensive experimental scrutiny spanning 3 days, from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. In a unique approach, we benchmark the findings against previous research endeavours, highlighting the transformative potential of our innovative design. Our innovative system harnesses a singular-axis solar tracking mechanism alongside moisture sensors and a water pump relay module, resulting in the creation of an autonomous irrigation system perpetually powered by solar energy. The results are noteworthy, showcasing the capability of a solar panel equipped with single-axis tracking to significantly boost photovoltaic output power. This configuration attains a remarkable 65% increase in total output power and a substantial improvement over the modest 52%?53% performance of fixed solar panels. This substantial divergence translates to a noteworthy 12%?13% difference in efficacy, underscoring the pioneering nature of our research. The zenith of power output, ranging between 3.16 and 3.68 W, transpires from noon to 2:00 PM, further illustrating the system's viability. The integrated water pump exhibits commendable efficiency, attaining levels as high as 75%. This revelation underscores the transformative potential of automated irrigation systems endowed with single-axis solar tracking technology, auguring amplified system performance and heralding a new era of sustainable agricultural practices. ? 2024 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.en_US
