Greening of Automated Hydroponic System Based on IoT and Enhanced Solar Energy with Electricity Saving Box

Abstract

In recent years, advancements in technology have reshaped the landscape of agricultural practices, aiming to address the challenges posed by conventional farming methods such as traditional hydroponic system. Traditional hydroponic systems often rely on conventional energy sources, leading to elevated energy consumption and carbon emissions. Addressing these challenges, the primary objective of this study is to design, implement, and evaluate an integrated hydroponic system that leverages IoT-based real-time monitoring and control, optimized solar energy utilization, and an electricity-saving box. IoT-enabled sensors and actuators monitor key parameters, facilitating automated adjustments to nutrient delivery, temperature, and humidity. Enhanced solar energy capture is achieved through advanced photovoltaic technologies, while the electricity-saving box ensures efficient power management. The findings demonstrate a substantial reduction in energy consumption compared to traditional hydroponic systems. The integrated approach contributes to minimized carbon emissions and resource utilization, aligning with eco-friendly cultivation practices. Real-time monitoring and control capabilities empower growers to optimize cultivation conditions for enhanced plant health and growth. In conclusion, this research underscores the potential of merging IoT technology, enhanced solar energy, and an electricity-saving box to transition hydroponic systems into sustainable and environmentally responsible platforms with the 35% of system efficiency enhancement achieved through the proposed method bring about transformative implications for automated hydroponic systems
