Solarvert, the name itself defines what it is all about, ‘vert’ comes from the french word for green whilst
‘solar’ reflects its utilization of solar energy.Pest infestations present considerable challenges to the
public especially in the agricultural industry.Traditional pest control methods, which often rely on
chemical pesticides, can result in environmental harm, negatively impacting crops and pose health
risks to humans.By utilizing solar energy, Solarvert offers an eco-friendly alternative for effective pest
control, significantly minimizing carbon footprints and reducing reliance on chemical
treatments.Solarvert is constructed using a combination of metal and electronic components.Starting
with solar panels made of photovoltaic cells supported by a metal frame for durability and proper
angle positioning.Beneath it, a bug zapper is mounted featuring a plastic outer casing with a
protective mesh and an inner UV light tube to attract insects.The ultrasonic transducer is strategically
placed under the zapper which is integrated with a motion sensor that activates the ultrasonic sound
when an animal approaches.The entire system is powered by a battery stored at the base as well as
a controller to prevent overcharging and ensure stable power.Moreover, Solarvert would be a
tremendous help for farmers and homeowners alike.
