The purposes of this research are to develop watering mechanism and to propose an effective control scheme for an automatic watering system of a laboratory scale zero energy cool chamber (ZECC) powered by solar energy. The system used in this paper consists of a box chamber placed on the surface, a watering pipe-reservoir mechanism, a pump to pumping water to the reservoir, a solar panel system as a sustainable energy resource and a controller scheme to control the ZECC watering system. The system and the proposed control scheme were confirmed through experiments. The experimental results revealed that the ZECC watering system can be controlled effectively.
