A smart irrigation system based on soil moisture sensors supported by photovoltaic energy is an innovation to address water use efficiency in the agricultural sector, especially in remote areas. This technology utilizes photovoltaic panels as a renewable energy source to operate water pumps, while soil moisture sensors provide real-time data that is used to automatically manage irrigation according to plant needs. This technology not only increases the efficiency of water and energy use but also supports environmental conservation by reducing dependence on fossil fuels. This research was conducted using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach guided by the PRISMA framework to analyze trends, benefits, and challenges in implementing this technology. The analysis results show that this system offers various advantages, including energy efficiency, reduced carbon emissions, and ease of management through the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) technology. Several challenges remain, such as high initial investment costs, limited network access, and obstacles. Technical matters related to installation and maintenance. Various solutions have been proposed, including providing subsidies for small farmers, implementing radiofrequency modules, and using modular designs to simplify implementation. This study contributes to the development of a conceptual framework that can be adapted to various geographic and socio-economic conditions. Potential further developments include the integration of artificial intelligence and additional sensors to increase efficiency and support the sustainability of the agricultural sector globally.
