Solar powered lawn mower

it utilizes the solar technology and automatic navigation system to provide an efficient, environmentally friendly solution for lawn care without manual operation, energy saving and efficiency.

  • Overall picture

What it does

It uses solar energy as the main energy source, is equipped with intelligent sensor system and GPS navigation, and can independently complete lawn mowing and maintenance work. It can recognize the boundaries of the lawn and automatically avoid obstacles.


Your inspiration

First, with the growing global interest in sustainable lifestyles, we recognize the importance of using renewable energy. As a clean and inexhaustible source of energy, solar energy is particularly important for its application in household appliances and tools. Therefore, the application of solar technology to everyday life tools, such as lawn mowers, is both an environmentally friendly choice and in line with modern consumer expectations.


How it works

The core function of the smart solar lawn mower is to convert sunlight into electricity through the solar panel, which is stored in the built-in high-capacity battery. The mower is equipped with an advanced automatic navigation system that uses GPS and ground-scanning radar to determine its precise position on the lawn and plan an efficient mowing path. It is also equipped with a variety of sensors, such as distance sensors and collision sensors, to detect and avoid obstacles, such as trees, flower beds or garden decorations. In addition, the machine automatically adjusts the height and speed of the blade to achieve uniform cutting by monitoring the grass height and density of the lawn in real time. A companion app allows users to remotely monitor and adjust mower Settings, such as mowing schedules, mowing intensity in specific areas, and more.


Design process

it begins with a detailed market study to identify the core needs of potential users and the shortcomings of existing solutions. Next, the team developed a multidisciplinary design that covered mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and software development. During the mechanical design phase, we built prototypes of several different fuselage and blade systems and experimentally evaluated their efficiency and durability. The development of the electronic system includes an integrated solar charging module, a battery management system and an array of sensors. The software development team focused on creating an intuitive user interface and an efficient navigation algorithm. During the prototype testing phase, each version of the mower was extensively tested on different types of lawns, from small home gardens to large public green Spaces. The test results helped us identify problems in the design, such as navigation accuracy, battery life, and blade wear rate, and we iterated on them. In addition, we collected feedback from users to optimize the machine's user-friendliness and functionality. The final design successfully realized an intelligent lawn mower which can not only cut grass efficiently but also complete energy management and fault diagnosis independently.


How it is different

The machine uses high-efficiency solar panels, which not only reduces the dependence on fossil fuels, but also greatly reduces operating costs and carbon emissions, supporting sustainable development. Through the advanced GPS and automatic navigation system, the machine can complete the task of cutting grass independently, and the user does not need to manually operate, thereby freeing up human resources. The integrated intelligent diagnostic system monitors equipment status in real time, prevents potential failures, and automatically performs maintenance procedures, reducing long-term maintenance costs and complexity. Monitor lawn conditions through real-time data, such as grass height and density, and automatically adjust mowing height and speed to ensure the best mowing results, suitable for various lawn environments.


Future plans

It is planned to develop a variety of intelligent interactive functions, including voice control, so that users can more easily set up and adjust. Develop a more comprehensive application that allows users to monitor and operate mowers from anywhere, increasing the flexibility of use. Explore and test more efficient solar panel technologies to ensure that machines work efficiently in a variety of light conditions, especially in low-light environments. Designed for multiple versions of different types and sizes of lawns, from small home gardens to large commercial sites, to meet the needs of a wider market.
