Abstract— Alternative energy technologies, like solar based energy generation systems, are receiving national and worldwide attention owing to the rising rate of consumption of nuclear and fossil fuels. In particular, drivers for solar renewable energy systems are the environmental benefits (reduction of carbon emissions due to the use of renewable energy sources and the efficient use of fossil fuels), reduced investment risk, fuel diversification, and energy autonomy, increased energy efficiency (less line losses) as well as potential increase of power quality and reliability and in certain cases, potential grid expansion deferral due to the possibility of generation close to demand. Therefore, solar power has been used for recharging of the battery for driving the pump. Wireless sensors has been established in filed to record the field status through the PIC microcontroller wireless technology like GPRS techniques has been used for the informing the user about the field parameters which avoid the problem of physical monitoring services of the field. A relay which is an electronic switch is used for switching the operational mode of the pump.

Index Terms— Solar energy, GPRS module, Wireless sensors, PIC microcontroller, Realy switch
