Solar Powered Lawn Mower

Answers

Is anyone (person, business) working on solar powered lawn care?

Gas powered lawn mowers, etc pollute more than cars per gallon of gas. If not solar, what about a catalytic converter for 2 cycle engines?


You're looking at this all wrong. Why perpetuate the green grass turf mystique?
Why not plant a wildlife habitat on your property. Natural local specie plants can grow without fertilizers and artificial water sources.

Once you go native you'll never go back. You'll be helping the environment, the wildlife, and the planet. The best thing is you will have a lot more free time for fun instead of spending it pruning your bush.

Solar powered 48v Craftsman lawn mower


48v Craftsman battery operated lawn mower wired to a 48v Flexcharge charge controller and two 24v panels.

How much solar power for a 2hp motor to run continously?

I saw the solar charged lawn mower but I was wondering how much solar panel footage would you need for it to just run and run with no battery, but still cutting like a smallish push lawn mower?


2HP is 1.5kW. Allowing for inefficiencies, that is 2kw. At 12 volts, that is 170 amps!

10-watts per square-foot for peak output is a common number for arrays. for 2000w, you will need 200 square ft! That is an area 14' by 14'.

And you have to keep it pointing directly at the sun as you mow.

Which Invention sounds the best to you guys?

a. Solar Powered Lawn Mower~ I mean for the most part we only mow when the sun is out anyway.

b. Digital Pictures~ Hangs on the wall and has a USB cabel at the bottom, you plug it into computer download the perfect picture and hang it up

c. Solar Powered Coffee Maker~ I'm still not sure

d. Celebrity Stress Releif Toy~ Stress Releif toy that looks like celebs and when squeezed they say things like Chris Farley~ Fat guy in little jacket

e. Automatic iron and clothe folding machine~ Put the clothes in a bin, it sorts, irons, and folds your clothes

f. Robotic Pet~ A pet that you don't have to clean up after

e. Do u have any ideas?

Can u tell me if any of these sound good? I have to make a powerpoint presentation to school, if u can do u have any ideas?


a. I like the solar powered lawn mower, perhaps it could go around the lawn like a roomba does around a room.

b. Digital pictures have already been invented.

c. probably not unless you drink your coffee outside.

d. good idea

e. good idea, sounds hard to make though.

f. already been done.

e. I'll think of one and add it in later...

Poll:Good Business Concept or not ....?

I want to develop a line of Solar Powered Riding Lawn Mowers to fight against the high price of gas. Its green for the environment and you can make some green on the way to work by cutting grass as you go.

Will this be a huge success and will you order one?


I rent, talk to the landlord.

But yeah, out of all your crackpot schemes, this one makes the most sense yet.

Robot mower?

I am currently building a robot lawn mower which I intend to build and sell from my garage (at least for now.) It is solar powered, waterproof and can work on anything from mud and sand to puddles of water.

I am aware there are many competitors out there, however these are horrendously expensive - some are only a few dollars short of two grand.

My mower costs around $35 to make. It is autonomous, versatile and requires no charging or refueling. Because it is solar powered I like to say it is "drop and go." It does require fencing but you can use any material that is higher than an inch.

Would you buy it? If so, for how much? Please be reasonable.


If it really works, I will add some basic features to tell the size of the lawn, so it does not go over. As for the price, it can easily double if you add the marketing, distribution, labor and any other miscellaneous costs to it. Contact me if you need to talk.


Solar Powered Electric Lawnmower | The Chic Ecologist

Designed by Studio Volpi in collaboration with GGP Group, this solar powered electric lawnmower is not only pretty for the eye, it’s also clean for the lung. Using the suns rays to charge while mowing, a removable polymer-ion battery system ensures your lawn care will be completed.

While this is a great concept, there is actually one in existence- and this one is automated! Similar to those robot vacuums, this is an automated solar lawnmower.
