The main aim of this project is to build a solar power automatic agriculture system using Arduino and sensors. In this project we are using solar energy. Solar energy is stored in to the batter and this battery power supply is used to run the project. The project makes a use of soil moisture sensor to detects the moisture content in soil, rain sensor is used to detect the rain, ultrasonic sensor is used to detect the obstacle and give the buzzer alerts, AC water motor is used for pumping the water to the crop based on moisture content, DC motor is used to cover the crop based on rain. The main controlling device of the whole project is Arduino to achieve the task. The main controlling device of the whole system is Arduino micro controller. Soil moisture sensors, rain sensor, ultrasonic sensor, water motor with   relay driver, DC motor with roof, buzzer are fed to the Arduino microcontroller. The Arduino controller continuously reads the data from sensors and takes the necessary action upon the crop.            

The main objectives of the project include:  

• Using solar energy from sun.
• Soil moisture sensor based automatic water pumping system.
• Rain sensor-based crop protection system.
• Using DC motor to cover the crop.
• Sr04 ultrasonic sensor is used to detects the obstacles and give the audible alerts through buzzer.
• The main controlling device of the whole project is Arduino to achieve the task.
