MUMBAI, India, Jan. 23 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202511123948 A) filed by Graphic Era, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, on Dec. 9, 2025, for 'a system and method for low-cost sensor-integrated solar-powered irrigation for small-scale orchards.'
Inventor(s) include Nancy Chauhan; and Rachan Karmakar.
The application for the patent was published on Jan. 23, under issue no. 04/2026.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "A low-cost, sensor-integrated solar-powered irrigation system for small-scale orchards is disclosed, wherein a solar panel array (101) converts sunlight into electrical energy regulated by a power management module (102) and supported by a dedicated support structure (110). The system employs multiple capacitive soil moisture sensors (103) that transmit soil dielectric changes to a microcontroller unit (104) housed in a weatherproof enclosure. Based on programmed control algorithms and a continuous feedback-control loop, the microcontroller (104) actuates an automated water distribution assembly (105) that includes an electrically driven water pump (106) connected to a deep tubewell (107) and remotely operated valve mechanisms (108) to distribute water efficiently across an orchard. An integrated communication interface (109) enables real-time data transmission for remote monitoring, ensuring precise water management in varying soil conditions."
