Abstract-Agricultural crop protection is a critical challenge faced by farmers, particularly in regions prone to damage caused by wildlife animals. This paper presents an innovative, sustainable solution through a Solar-Powered Agricultural Crop Protection from Wild Animals System. The proposed system integrates a metallic structure equipped with a 360° rotating light and speakers, powered entirely by solar panels. The rotating light disorients animals by shining into their eyes, while the speakers emit sounds to deter them, ensuring minimal harm to the environment and animals. The system leverages renewable energy, reducing dependency on conventional power sources and making it cost-effective for rural applications. This paper discusses the design methodology, technical specifications, and testing results, highlighting the system’s effectiveness in deterring wildlife and its long-term economic feasibility for farmers. The implementation of such systems can significantly reduce crop losses, promote sustainable farming practices, and ensure food security.
