Peatland groundwater, watched by a solar-powered station

On oil palm estates on peat, the groundwater level has to be kept in check. If it drops too far, the peat dries out fast.

What we did

  1. 01A groundwater level sensor inside a PVC monitoring well set into the ground.
  2. 02A solar-powered station with a charge controller and a LiFePO4 battery with BMS, so no grid power is needed.
  3. 03A telemetry gateway sends the data straight from the estate.

The result

The groundwater level is logged automatically from the middle of the estate. The station runs on its own solar power.
