Pompa Mini Tenaga Surya Berbasis Internet of Things untuk Irigasi Sawah di Desa Sidoarjo II Ramunia

Abstract

Sidoarjo II Ramunia Village is an agricultural area that has great potential in the agricultural sector, but still faces obstacles in the irrigation system which is less efficient and relies on conventional energy sources. Irrigation is an effort to regularly flow water from water sources to agricultural land. So a water pump is needed to move water from one place to another. However, the use of water pumps also requires additional costs, such as for fuel or electricity, which is a burden for famers. This research aims to design and build a mini pump using solar power based on the internet of things (IoT) as an automatic irrigation solution that is energy efficient and environmentally friendly. This research includes designing a system powered by solar panels and integrating IoT modules (such as ESP32) for remote monitoring and control via a web-based application, so that it can activate the water pump automatically. Testing was carried out with watering cycles in different weather conditions. The results of the study show that this system does not require electricity supply from PLN and the system also runs stably and responsively. The proposed system proved effective in improving irrigation efficiency and is suitable for implementation as a modern irrigation solution in rural areas with limited electricity access.When the solar panel absorbs sunlight energy for 1 hour, it produces an energy value of 0,79 Wh and can pump 1.166 mL of water with the energy released by the pump being 0.024 Wh.
