There are many agricultural fields in developing countries such as Turkey which do not have electricity on site. In order to water these fields, there is usually a need to store water in a water reservoir nearby. This purpose is achieved by manpower or by using diesel-operated water pumps which are often inefficient and require a high degree of maintenance over time. Furthermore, extending the power supply grid to the field is not considered an option by governors, due to the high cost for a relatively small-scale application. Along with this, watering the field is done by farmers, which frequently leads to waste of water, or leads to watering one particular area of the field less than the others, which causes a drop in crop efficiency. Preventing water waste is considered an important issue in the 21st century. Also, increasing crop efficiency in a developing country is an important consideration. To prevent water waste and to enhance crop efficiency, an automated irrigation system is needed. The objective of this study is to develop a photovoltaic-based irrigation system for an agricultural field that is not tied to an existing conventional electric grid. Firstly, a stand-alone PV system is designed according to the field requirements. Secondly, a soil moisture sensor-based smart irrigation system is developed for an automated irrigation process compatible with drip irrigation systems. This system also enables users to monitor and analyze soil moisture data. By developing this type of complete irrigation mechanism, a long-term lower cost, efficient, and environmental-friendly system is designed.
