Abstract

The greenhouse is used for the cultivation of plants even when the climate outside is not suitable for growth. The greenhouse used here is an automated and self- sustained greenhouse. It has a transparent PV at the rooftop that will not only harness the solar energy but also allow the light to pass through it. The automation system will allow the supply of water, light and air according to the need of plants in correct proportion. The sensors and the microcontroller together work to provide the light and water whenever required. The sensors monitor the basic parameters like light, humidity, and temperature and soil moisture for maintaining the conditions inside greenhouse. The cooling and exhaust fans are always maintaining the temperature and humidity level inside greenhouse. The conditions inside the automated greenhouse are studied with the help of several instruments and are recorded. The outcome is quite fruitful and suitable for plant growth.
