Solar energy is converted into electrical energy by using photovoltaic cells. During the daytime, the energystored in the batteries can be utilized to run water pump for agriculture. This project aims at developing a controlledcharging mechanism providing protections for overcharge condition, deep discharge condition and under voltage stateof the battery. This proposed system will be comprised of a DC pump which reduces the use of inverters etc, thereforereducing the cost of the project. Using the charge-controlled mechanism; the water pump can be operated at fourdifferent time slots. Difficulties like switching the pump ON/OFF manually can be overcome using this project. Thereexists an inbuilt real time clock (RTC) which keeps tracking the time and thus switches ON/OFF the pump accordingly.MOSFET's are also used by the charge controller as power semiconductor switches to ensure cutting of the load (DCPump) in conditions like low battery or overload, while, the transistor is used to bypass the solar energy to a dummyload while the battery gets fully charged. Thus the battery is protected from getting overcharged.
