Poultry is a great potential industry particularly in Batangas Province. The method of feeding chicken needs to be considered as chicken must be fed regularly to be more productive. The conventional method of feeding chicken is the need to continuously provide the food, be alert and conscious on the food remaining in cages and to feed the chickens in a correct period of time to avoid the decline of the production. Growers also find it difficult to manage their businesses effectively because

... need to be around the cages every now and then to monitor the poultry. Timing and exactness are the key to provide a uniform time in feeding the chickens. This will benefit the owner of the business in terms of time and effort. Another advantage of this project is in terms of savings to the owner of the poultry business. This technology was designed to automatically feed chickens at a given period of time and to give alarm when the feeds are running out of supply. The power to be supplied to this prototype will be drawn from the sun by means of solar panels and will be stored in typical car battery. The feeds will be stored in a container and evenly distributed by using a conveyor to the feeding basin of the poultry. It will be more efficient than manual conventional way of feeding because less effort will be needed in feeding the chickens and less feeds will be wasted. In addition to that, the stored power can also be used for lighting purposes for the growers to save energy and energy bills. INTRODUCTION Electricity is the most used energy nowadays. Most of the equipment and gadgets used by people need electrical energy to provide comfort and to make their life simpler and easier. There are different sources of energy that can be converted or transferred to electrical energy like energies from sun, water, wind, and even from mechanical movement. Energy from these sources can be converted to electrical energy by means of windmills for wind energy, water turbines for hydro-energy, and solar panels for solar energy. These forms of renewable energy have a great contribution to power or energy consumption. One of the applications of electricity is the automation of different equipment which can have a large role in making life easy. Automation is the use of machines, control systems and information technologies to optimize productivity in the production of goods and delivery of services [1].Equipment becomes more efficient, more accurate
