Paper Title
Automated Temperature And Humidity Control System For Strawberry Plantation Using Solar Panel
Abstract
This paper presents the Automated Temperature and Humidity Control System for Strawberry Plantation using
Solar Panel is aimed to facilitate the farmers or gardeners to involve in greenhouse system and improve agriculture
technology. In Malaysia, the climatic conditions are favourable to the development of solar energy, with abundant sunshine
throughout the year. The climate influences the types of plantation in an area. For example, the process of planting
strawberry plants in Kedah needs suitable humidity and temperature. The maximum temperature specified for planting
strawberries in this project is 20°C while the minimum soil moisture was 70%RH. This project is to encourage plantation of
cold climate plants under normal temperature with the control of automated temperature and humidity control system. There
are several parts which control the system such as temperature and humidity sensor is basically to control and maintain a
sustainable temperature and humidity for the growth of cold climate plants. These sensors will detect the requirement and
operate as the system designed. Photovoltaic (PV) solar panel is the power source for the project. The energy from the sun
lights will be absorbed and converted to electrical energy. Led flash siren alarm will be activated to alert when error occurs
in the system. The body and roof of the design is transparent for photosynthesis purpose. The organizer will be able to use
the system manually and automatically. The program code for manual method is designed by using Programmable Integrated
Circuit (PIC).
Keywords- Solar Panel, Strawberry Plant, Temperature, Humidity, PIC.
