One of the most prominent applications of solar plants is the solar pumping systems that are required in
rural areas while it is almost impossible to connect to the utility grid. A solar plant and irrigation system
with several control features are designed and implemented in this study. The technical aspects of the
study include sizing of a solar plant, feasibility analyses, system planning and implementation, remote
monitoring, and remote control issues. The sizing and feasibility analyses are performed by using highly
reliable software. The remote monitoring system is implemented with several sensing and communication boards designed by authors, and server-client software. The remote control operation is performed
owing to implemented 8-channel relaying device that is reached over GSM networks. Each part of the
entire system is implemented and is optimized to provide an observable and controllable solar irrigation
system in a county yard. The presented study is aimed to express the potential capabilities of a solar plant
in irrigation, and integration capabilities to numerous communication systems such as 3G, GSM, and
Wi-Fi to implement remote monitoring and remote control infrastructures.
