Abstract
Incorporation of renewable sources of energy has become imperative. Earth receives solar power in abundance. This paper focuses on utilization of the same for powering the Arduino microcontroller board, so as to facilitate garnering of real-time information regarding prevalent weather as well as soil conditions. Area-specific temperature, relative humidity, and soil moisture content can be found out. Furthermore, a beforehand list of crop harvest can be developed depending on the results thus obtained. A weather station and soil analyzing system which is completely independent of nonrenewable energy sources can be developed. The data can be put to use for understanding the pattern of crop growth in the area under consideration.
