ABSTRACT: Nowadays there is a great need for “conservation of energy “. Continuous use of traditional
energy resources will have high risk of rising in price and energy depletion. This paper focuses on green energy
utilization for agricultural and domestic purpose. The conventional energy sources uses non-renewable energy
resources and they are in the form of backpack which is only useful for the agricultural purposes. This made us
to think of designing a multipurpose product that is basically trolley based solar powered spryer which involves
a minimum intervention of man power and operates with the no pollution for agricultural pesticide spraying and
washing of vehicles. Our design mainly eliminates the back mounting of sprayer setup which causes back pain,
use of fossil power which is non-renewable and hazardous and extensive use of manpower. Thus we proved to
be more efficient when compared to conventional sprayer.
Keywords: Solar, DC Pump, Renewable energy, Pesticide sprayer, Vehicle Washer, Multi tasking,
Non-Conventional.
I INTRODUCTION
Sprayers are very much important in the application of agricultural practices like spraying pesticides to
get uniform distribution of chemicals throughout the crop foliage and also in some domestic application like
washing of vehicles ,machine etc. Sprayers not only ensures uniform distribution but also limits use of it. We
are particularly using a sprayer which is empowered by a renewable resource i.e. solar energy. This signifies
the green energy utilization which creates no harm to the environment. The existing products for pesticide
sprayers are either hand operated (manpowered) or fuel operated (fossil power) which requires high human
effort and needs regular maintenance like refilling of fuel which are quite expensive. Traditional agricultural
sprayers are in the form of backpack which on continuous usage creates back pain or becomes stressful for the
users and also can only carry maximum of 10 liters. Our product which is basically a trolley based that
eliminates these problems and restrictions. It can be easily movable with very less human effort and can carry
sufficient amount of pesticide. The solar panel mounted on the top can be tilted to required angle according to
the sunlight. This panel consisting of photovoltaic cells which converts solar energy into electrical energy
which is supplied to the battery via controller. The battery intern runs DC motor with sufficient speed for
effective spraying through nozzle. Various types of nozzles can be used according to the required work like for
spraying the pesticide , spraying of water to the plants, and single point nozzle for washing of vehicles and
machine parts etc. The designed product is multitasking, user friendly and eco friendly with high efficiency
when compared to existing products and In affordable range.

2.3 DC Battery
DC battery is power house of the system composed of electrochemical cells charged by solar panel. It
stores energy through electrochemical reactions. A controller is provided between solar panel and battery to
control the current flow.
Specification
Voltage : 12V DC
Rated current : 7.5 Ah
Weight : 2.4 kg
2.4 DC MOTOR
DC Motors are the electrical machines that converts electrical energy to mechanical energy. DC motor
helps to lift liquid from tank and delivers it to spray gun with sufficient discharge speed.
Specifications
Voltage : 12V
Discharge : 5 lit/min
Current : 2.5 Ah
Size : 163*50 mm (H * Dia)
Material : plastic and metal
Pressure : 0.6Mpa
II DESIGN CALCULATION
Solar panel
Power = 20w
Voltage =18v
Then current produced by the panel is given as
I = P/V I = 20/18 = 1.11Ah
Battery
Voltage = 12v
Current =7.5Ah
Then power of battery is given as
P = VI P =12*7.5 = 90W
Pump
Power = 30w
Solar Powered Sprayer For Agricultural And Domestic Purpose
www.ijres.org 34 | Page
Voltage = 12v
Flow rate =5 lit/min
Then current required for the pump is given as
I = P/V I = 30/12 = 2.5Ah
Charging time for battery
T=(battery rating in ampere hour)/ (total current consumed by the solar panel)
T=7.5/1.11= 6.5hrs (during mean time).
Discharging time
T=(battery rating in ampere hour)/ (total current required for the pump)
T=7.5/2.5 = 3hrs
When battery is discharging for 3hrs simultaneously it will charge that can work for 1.5 more hrs.
Total discharging time
T= 3+1.5 = 4.5hrs
III ADVANTAGES
The pesticide sprayer operates with minimal pollution.
No conventional power consumption.
Low operating cost.
Easy to operate.
User friendly.
 It is portable.
Maintenance cost is low.
Easy to assemble and disassemble.
Effective spraying
Product uses renewable energy resources.
Product is easily movable.

IV RESULTS
From the collected data, It is observed that 18V , 1.11Ah solar panel can charge 12V ,7.5Ah battery
fully in 6 and half hours assuming normal sunlight in daytime and it takes complete three hours to discharge.
During 3 hours of discharge simultaneously battery will be charged, that is sufficient to work for 1 and half
hours more when operating in mean time. Therefore continuously we can spray for 4 and half hours without
rest.
V CONCLUSION
The fabricated model satisfies all the requirements of the user and It is designed according to the
parameters. It involves minimum intervention of manpower . It completely eliminates use of fossil fuels and
uses renewable resource i.e. solar energy . The trolley based system also relief user from back mounting which
would cause back pain . The designed model is compact, affordable, user friendly and produces no bad impact
on environment. Hence the designed model is cost effective and compatible with other models available
commercially.
