I. INTRODUCTION

System can be divided into three section .1) solar tracking for optimum power, 2) animals and Birds polling section 3) farmer identification section

  1. Solar tracking for optimum power: – Solar is a non conventional source of energy, considering this to developed solar panels so that we can fulfill our electricity need. But due to revolution of the earth, solar source i.e. sun does not face the panel continuously hence less electricity is produced. The energy panel should face the SUN till it is Present in a day.

    Renewable energy solutions are becoming increasingly popular. Photovoltaic (solar) systems are but one example. Maximizing power output from a solar system is

    Desirable to increase efficiency. In order to maximize power output from the solar panels, one needs to keep the panels aligned with the sun. As such, a means of tracking the sun is required. This is a far more cost effective solution than purchasing additional

  2. Animals and Birds polling section: In this section the ultrasonic motion detector is ONE SECTION OF PROTECTION FROM WILD ANIMALS AND BIRDS FOR CROP that using an ultrasonic sensor as its base to detect movement or moving objects in places. It is design to be a low cost ultrasonic motion detector. The transmitter sensor use to generate signal in that area. When the signal is block by moving or movement the receiver will gets the signal and amplifies the signal using transistor. The transistor is

    use as an amplifier to the receiver circuit. The Led and buzzer (firing) in the circuit use to see if there is movement detect of Birds and wild animals by the sensor. The relay use to trigger another circuit when there is movement detects. The signal generate by the sensor is about ±40khz. This is a fully hardware design system plus it is built to be a portable ultrasonic motion detect

  3. Farmer identification section: Todays farmer life is very busy of their work in field. And they suffer from stolen of crop by being human and animals. Small height crop is varying easily damage, and overall production of farmer degrading. In this section farmer identification can be done by using RF module.

    provide solution for secure access of a space while keeping record of the farmer. Some systems use radio waves to communicate, which is also how Wi- Fi and cell phone signals operate. Farmer identification section doesnt require all the features of a Wi-Fi network because Farmer identification sections are Coded messages. The most prominent radio networks in Farmer identification section may be ZigBee and Z-Wave or RF module.

    Remote control provides the convenience of controlling firing section of systems and there are several different "methods" of controlling devices remotely

    2. Animals and Birds polling section:

      It consists of a set of ultrasonic receiver and transmitter which operate at the same frequency. When something moves in the area covered by the circuit, the circuits fine balance is disturbed and the alarm is triggered and firing section will be activated. The circuit is very sensitive and can be adjusted to reset itself automatically or to stay triggered till it is reset manually after an alarm the ultrasonic motion detector is Animals and Birds polling section is using an ultrasonic sensor as its base to detect movement or moving objects in small places. It is design to be a low cost ultrasonic motion detector. The transmitter sensor use to generate signal in that area. When the signal is block by moving or movement the receiver will gets the signal and amplifies the signal using amplifier. it is use as an amplifier to the receiver circuit. The Led and buzzer or firing section is activated if there is movement detect by the sensor. The relay use to trigger firing section circuit when there is movement detects. The signal generate by the sensor is about

      ±40khz. This is a fully hardware design project plus it is built to be a portable ultrasonic motion detector.

    3. Farmer identification section: This section aimed to develop a wireless system to detect and allow only the authorized farmer in their field. The system is based on Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology and consists of a RFID tag .it sends coded information to the Farmer identification setion receives, decodes and checks

      the information available in its Database and Manchester code was used to send that information. The system performed as desired with a 100m diameter antenna attached to the transponder. It is built by using the Popular 8051 family Microcontroller. It gets the tag ID and if the tag ID is stored in its memory then the microcontroller will allow the farmer inside the field.
