Automatic system has brought many revolutions in the existing technologies. One among
the technologies, which has greater developments, is the solar powered automatic shrimp feeding system.
For instance, the solar power which is a renewable energy can be an alternative solution to energy crisis
and basically reducing man power by using it in an automatic manner. The researchers believe an
automatic shrimp feeding system may help solve problems on manual feeding operations.
The project study aimed to design and develop a solar powered automatic shrimp feeding system. It
specifically sought to prepare the design specifications of the project, to determine the methods of
fabrication and assembly, and to test the response time of the automatic shrimp feeding system.
The researchers designed and developed an automatic system which utilizes a 10 hour timer to be set
in intervals preferred by the user and will undergo a continuous process. The magnetic contactor acts as
a switch connected to the 10 hour timer which controls the activation or termination of electrical loads
and powered by means of a solar panel outputting electrical power, and a rechargeable battery in
electrical communication with the solar panel for storing the power.
By undergoing through series of testing, the components of the modified system were proven
functional and were operating within the desired output. It was recommended that the timer to be used
should be tested to avoid malfunction and achieve the fully automatic system and that the system may be
improved to handle changes in scope of the project.
