Abstract

The aim of this activity is to improve the welfare of farmers in Padukuhan Gumawang, Putat Village, Gunungkidul, through the application of irrigation technology that uses renewable energy, namely solar power. The majority of the population in this village are farmers who depend heavily on agricultural products, especially rice and secondary crops. However, one of the main problems faced is limited water during the dry season, which causes a decrease in agricultural productivity. Therefore, innovative and sustainable solutions are needed to overcome this problem. The method used in community service is designing and testing a tool to obtain a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) as an energy source to operate a submersible pump to support a more efficient and energy-saving irrigation system. Activities carried out include outreach to farmers regarding the benefits of renewable energy technology, PLTS design and installation, as well as equipment maintenance training. Apart from that, ongoing assistance is also provided so that farmers can independently manage this system. The results of this activity show an increase in farmers' understanding of the use of environmentally friendly technology and renewable energy. The PLTS-based irrigation system has succeeded in increasing agricultural land productivity by up to 30% and significantly reducing operational costs, especially savings in terms of purchasing fuel. Apart from that, the application of this technology also contributes to reducing carbon emissions in the region. Thus, this program is able to double the productivity of secondary crops, provide direct financial benefits to farmers and provide a positive and sustainable impact on improving the welfare of farmers in Padukuhan Gumawang.

Abstract

This activity aims to empower farmers in Wonokromo Village, Bantul Regency, through the implementation of irrigation technology using solar power and IoT. The village's population is predominantly farmers who rely heavily on agricultural products, particularly rice and secondary crops, during the dry season. However, one of the main challenges they face is limited water during the dry season, which leads to decreased agricultural productivity. The method used in this activity is designing a Solar Power Plant (PLTS) as an energy source to operate submersible pumps and IoT to support a more efficient and energy-efficient irrigation system. Activities include outreach to farmers about the benefits of renewable energy technology, PLTS and IoT design, and equipment maintenance training. Furthermore, ongoing mentoring is provided to enable farmers to independently manage this system. The results of this activity indicate the need for innovative and sustainable solutions to address these issues. This includes increasing farmer understanding of the use of environmentally friendly technology. An IoT-based solar irrigation system can increase agricultural land productivity by up to 20% and save on fuel purchases, and farmers can monitor their farmland via smartphone. This provides direct financial benefits to farmers and has a positive, sustainable impact on improving the welfare of farmers in Pandes Hamlet.
