Abstract

Solar power plants are power plants that work without utilizing fossil energy in the form of solar power as an energy source. This research designed a solar power generation system used in an automatic watering system for chili plants. This study aims to test the effectiveness of using solar energy as an energy source to run an automatic watering system in chili farms The experimental method was carried out by designing and building a solar photovoltaic system connected to a water pump for watering chili plants. The results of this study show that the amount of power produced by solar panels depends on the intensity of solar radiation that hits the surface of solar panels. The solar panel is used at 50 Wp solar charge controllers, batteries automatic chili watering control systems, and water pumps. The maximum sunlight intensity of 1009.62 W/m2 can produce voltage connected to an average load of 12.74 volts and an average current of 1.24 Ampere and the power generated reaches 20.78 watts. Capable of operating an automatic chili sprinkler.
