Abstract

This developmental and descriptive study is directed towards developing a solar powered automatic watering system, focusing on its design and development, determining the quality dimensions of the project, and evaluating the level of acceptability in terms of durability, performance, and serviceability. The questionnaire used was adapted from a researcher made questionnaire to gather information on the quality of the product among electrical, electronic, mechanical engineers and practitioners and the level of acceptability among local farmers. The means were used to analyze the data gathered to determine the quality of the project's dimension regarding durability, performance, and serviceability. The project was rated very satisfactory. As to the level of acceptability of the system as assessed by farmers regarding performance and serviceability, the product was rated as very satisfactory. In contrast, a rating in terms of durability earned satisfactorily. Based on these findings, a solar-powered automatic watering system can be developed. It is feasible, operational, and functional. The materials used are available in local markets and nearby cities and municipalities. Furthermore, there is a need to further enhance the project's durability since it was evaluated by the experts as satisfactory only.
