Abstract

In this study, a solar PV based sprayer has been designed and developed. The
developed solar PV sprayer operates both on direct mode by using electricity generated by
the component PV panel of the sprayer and also on battery mode using stored electric energy.
A DC motor pump is used to generate the required operating pressure to spray the liquid
pesticide formulations. A solar PV polycrystalline panel is used to generate required electric
energy to operate the DC motor pump in direct mode. On battery mode, the sprayer runs on
the stored electric energy in a deep cycle battery (12 V).
