MUMBAI, India, July 11 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202521022221 A) filed by Vishwakarma Government Engineering College, Ahmedabad, Gujarat, on March 12, for 'smart solar water pump for farmers.'
Inventor(s) include Saad Sumra Yusuf; Nilam B. Panchal; and Divyesh J. Vaghlea.
The application for the patent was published on July 11, under issue no. 28/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The Smart Solar Water Pump System is an advanced, energy-efficient irrigation solution designed to optimize water usage in agriculture. It operates using solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, eliminating dependency on grid electricity or fossil fuels. The system integrates IoT-based remote monitoring and AI-driven automation, allowing farmers to control and track pump operations via a mobile or web application. Sensor-based automation, including soil moisture, temperature, humidity, and water level sensors, ensures precise irrigation by activating the pump only when needed, preventing water wastage. AI algorithms analyze weather forecasts, soil conditions, and crop requirements to optimize irrigation schedules. Additional features such as flow sensors, leakage detection, pump failure alerts, and theft protection enhance reliability and efficiency. This cost-effective, scalable, and sustainable system reduces operational costs, improves crop productivity, and promotes eco-friendly farming practices, making it ideal for farmers, agribusinesses, and remote agricultural communities."
