The solar powered aeroponic system was developed for cultivation of high valued crops. The aeroponic system was developed by using different components like SPV (Solar Photovoltaic) module, growth chamber, mister, nutrient tank, pump, battery and digital timer. The system comprising a 120 W SPV module with 84 W motor pump, main, submain, laterals and misters. The mister discharge, pump discharge, current, voltage, pump pressure and discharge of misters were tested. The mister with discharge of lph in the pressure range was kg cm-2 provided by the pump. The mister spraying radius and spraying height were found to be 40 cm and 45 cm respectively. The maximum and minimum weekly relative humidity recorded inside the growth chamber were and at 7th and 2nd week respectively. | Design development and evaluation of solar powered aeroponic system A case study
