Abstract: In order to improve energy efficiency and lessen its negative effects on the environment, sustainable agriculture mostly depends on renewable energy sources. Solar energy is one of the most useful and efficient of these. However, the varying angle and intensity of sunshine during the day affects how efficient solar panels are. Our solution includes an automatic solar tracking device that continuously modifies the panel's position to optimize energy absorption. The panel tilts toward the sun using a single-axis solar tracker, greatly increasing energy production and overall efficiency. Our approach creates a hybrid renewable energy system by combining wind and solar electricity to further improve energy reliability. This combination makes it perfect for agricultural applications including irrigation systems, water pump motors, and other crucial farming operations since it guarantees a steady and continuous power supply. The hybrid approach is a more resilient and sustainable option since it minimizes reliance on a single power source while simultaneously optimizing energy generation. Furthermore, a Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is integrated into our system to effectively monitor and control energy distribution. The Connected Dominating Set (CDS) algorithm is used to optimize the WSN, increasing communication efficiency, reducing sensor node energy consumption, and extending the network's lifespan. Our suggested solution intends to transform smart agriculture by combining advanced WSN-based optimization, hybrid energy harvesting, and intelligent tracking to improve environmental sustainability, lower operating costs, and increase energy efficiency. In addition to meeting the growing demand for sustainable food production, this research advances contemporary farming methods, opening the door for a more eco-friendly and energy-efficient agricultural industry.
