Open Solar Powered Irrigation Tool (OSPIT)

The OSPIT solar irrigation prototype is powered by a small photovoltaic solar panel of 40 Watt peak power in our current setup. The system is currently installed in Berlin-Friedrichshain, Germany at Markgrafendamm 10 and can irrigate 6 planting beds by drip-watering. The current prototype features a water pump to provide water pressure from a water tank at the same height level of the planting beds, but the system can probably also be gravity-fed if the water tank is located higher than the planting beds.
