IMPLEMENTASI SPATS TIPE BATTERY-COUPLED MENGGUNAKAN POMPA SUBMERSIBLE DENGAN PENJADWALAN PENYIRAMAN TERPROGRAM UNTUK TANAMAN BAWANG MERAH PADA KELOMPOK SALEHA

Abstract

The problem of this program is the operational cost in the process of watering shallots because it uses a diesel engine pump and the watering process is a conventional watering process by manually turning the pump on or off. The objective of the activity is to reduce watering costs by replacing the diesel engine pump with a battery-coupled Solar Water Pump System using a submersible pump and creating an automatically scheduled watering system, so that the watering process no longer depends on humans. Test results show the system is able to operate with high efficiency, with the solar panel generating sufficient energy to drive the pump and sustain watering continuity. The system is able to reduce dependence on conventional electricity, providing a sustainable and environmentally sustainable irrigation solution. In addition, the system also showed stability and reliability in daily operation, despite variations in solar intensity. As such, it offers an effective solution for agricultural systems in areas with limited access to electricity, while supporting the use of renewable energy systems.
