ABSTRACT
Solar energy is the light that comes from sun and is
the earth's most abundant energy source. Everyday
sun radiates enormous amounts of energy into space
and with the development of technology such as the
solar cell, we are able to collect this energy and
convert it into usable electricity. The Indian farmers
have been using large machineries in cultivation with
high cost of processing.. In order to save energy,
control pollution, reduce fuel consumption, increase
