Kajian Instalasi Automatic Ring Irrigation With Solar Panel Energy (ARISGY) Tipe Polycrystaline

Abstract

Water is an important component for plants which needed a sufficient quantities for supporting plant’s growth and development, Lack of water will affect plant productivity. The purpose of this research were to reviewed performance an automatic ring irrigation system with a polycrystalline type solar panel tools and evaluate the performance of the device in the form of water flow, uniformity of emitter dischage and electrical power. The research in a greenhouse scale observation to determine the performance of the tool. The results showed that the average discharge is 52,36 ml/s, the uniformity value/emission uniform (EU) is 87%, wich was a good category, the obtained water storage efficiency (Es) is 48,55% wich was a not good category. The polycrystalline type solar panel was used capable of producing a current of 5,55 W.
