In reaction to water scarcity and environmental concerns, water input to watered the plant will need to be lowered. The project had been made to make ease of home farming where the system is fully controls by microcontroller, soil moisture sensor and temperature sensor. This research compared three different cases where all cases have a different amount of sensor and is deep at a different place. To develop a solar sensor-based water sprinkler for home chili farming, week field studies were performed. Results showed greater efficiency of crops in the second case in plant height and number of leaves. This research is also presenting a smart way to save water and provides the comprehensive scheme hardware and software design technique. It also helps to boost water productivity over crop yield increases and reduce the use of water. Moreover, the tilt angle of a solar cell to operates the pump under high radiance conditions and produces greater output power is observed. A battery also installed to the system to help the system works during night or in a cloudy day.
