Abstract :It is still very common to use electric power supply insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AC); or diesel to power generators in agricultural operations. However, automated control systems in irrigation have made considerable progress in recent years and also renewable sources has been applied to various applications and also these sources have been used in agricultural field. This paper presents a prototype of an automated irrigation system used in a greenhouse insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(80 m2);to produce its energy from photovoltaic solar panels. In the experiment, two solar panels insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(220W); has been mounted near the greenhouse and energy produced by solar panels stored in two gel type battery insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(200Ah);. This energy was used for water pumping. The centrifugal pump sucked water from deep well with 12 m. As a result, two main objective of this study was to determine insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(a); the amount of energy produced from solar panels, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(b); the system performance on greenhouse irrigation.
