Pemanfaatan Energi Surya Sebagai Energi Alternatif Aerator Untuk Meningkatkan Kualitas Air Kolam Ikan Hias Berukuran Kecil

Abstract

Aerator has function to supply the dissolved oxygen in the water is very important for the survival of fish, therefore the
aerator is required to be on for 24 hours. However, due to depending on PLN electricity, when there is a power outage for a
long period of time, the aerator can't supply dissolved oxygen into the pond and the oxygen supply in the pond will drop
drastically. This is dangerous because it can threaten the survival of ornamental fish. Therefore, an energy supply system is
needed that can supply electrical energy to the aerator to replace the dependency electricity from PLN. This tool is designed
to use a power supply from solar panels so that it is not affected in the event of a PLN power outage, and can always supply
dissolved oxygen levels for the survival of ornamental fish. In addition, this tool is also equipped with a monitoring system
based on the Nodemcu ESP8266 Microcontroller which is displayed via the Thingspeak server. The monitoring system used
in this tool uses a PH sensor and a temperature sensor. The use of PH sensors and temperature sensors because the level of
acidity (PH) and temperature are one of the parameters of water quality other than dissolved oxygen. When the aerator is on,
the information on the pool water will be read through the PH sensor and temperature sensor.
