Weed or vegetation management is particularly important for ground mounted solar systems.

Cutting grass under solar panels.

The institute elevated 720 solar panels high enough for farm machinery to harvest plants underneath and nearby according to a 2017 press release. So every solar panel matters. The system uses 6v batteries to power the vehicle movement motors as well as the grass cutter motor. The solar field provides power to 211 homes per year.

The fully automated solar grass cutter is a fully automated grass cutting robotic vehicle powered by solar energy that also avoids obstacles and is capable of fully automated grass cutting without the need of any human interaction. Tall weeds growing around the installation can create shading which can negatively impact system production. At home mowing the lawn is one of summertime s most frequent chores and it s no different for the solar industry. Unfortunately in our experience planned site maintenance is often overlooked.

Luckily we can advise you on the. A maintenance program is essential in order for solar park systems to work correctly and deliver maximum financial returns. Solar shading decreased production 5 3 percent to 19 percent. And if the grass is too tall then they only collect about half of the energy needed.
