Abstract

Solar-powered wireless sensor networks (WSNs) play a crucial role in modern agriculture, enhancing crop yield and quality while reducing labor requirements. By employing sensors and communication technologies like ZigBee and Bluetooth, these networks collect real-time data on various environmental parameters, facilitating remote monitoring and prompt action by farmers. Leveraging solar energy through photovoltaic (PV) systems, these WSNs ensure sustained power supply, enabling autonomous operation even in remote areas. Recent studies highlight the effectiveness of solar-powered WSNs in diverse agricultural applications such as automated irrigation, soil sensing, and weather monitoring. Integration of PV technology with WSNs offers simplicity in installation and long-term energy sustainability, making them an attractive choice for farmers seeking efficient and self-sustained agricultural practices.
