The Incubator for Eggs presents a hybrid solar-powered egg incubator with Arduino-based
hatching detection, designed to operate using both solar energy and a conventional power
supply. The Egg Incubator has integrated with an Arduino-based hatching detection system
and is equipped with IoT based applications. It has thermostat controls to regulate
temperature and humidity control for critical factors for successful egg hatching. An
Arduino microcontroller was programmed to monitor these parameters and detect hatching
activity by analyzing movements using a Pir motion sensor and sounds from the hatched
eggs allowing for timely interventions. The electrical system of the solar-powered egg
incubator comprises a 1500W Solar inverter, 30A Solar Charge controller, DC and AC
breakers and a 200W Monocrystalline solar panel. To give order poultry breeders an
effective and sustainable option, especially in places with erratic electricity supplies, our
project concentrated on creating a solar-powered egg incubator with Arduino-based
hatching detection. To provide constant electricity for the incubator, the system combines
a 1500W solar inverter, a 12V 65Ah battery for energy storage, a 30A charge controller,
and a 200W solar panel. The prototype was subjected to a 21-day testing period. The study
was conducted in Tondo Manila.
