Smarter Solutions for Solar Field Mowing
Solar Field Mowing
Conventional mowing approaches just don’t cut it in today’s solar fields. Tight clearances, uneven ground, and restricted access make traditional equipment inefficient, labor intensive, and risky to operate. Robotic solar field mowers from RC Mowers help you get the work done faster and more safely with better results and lower costs.
Solar Field Maintenance Needs
Deferring solar field ground maintenance isn’t an option for optimal energy production and environmental safety. Overgrown vegetation can shade panels, reducing output and dragging down operational efficiency. Uncontrolled growth also poses a substantial fire risk. Dry grass or brush can easily ignite and spread, increasing the potential for serious damage to equipment and the surroundings.
Put us to the testWhy Mowing Solar Fields Is Harder Than It Looks
While the importance of a solar field maintenance strategy is clear, the path to getting it done is less straightforward:
- Tight row spacing: Low clearances and narrow gaps between rows of panels make it difficult for standard mowing equipment to fit, slowing progress, and forcing crews into awkward or unsafe working positions.
- Challenging terrain: Solar fields are large and full of obstacles. Expansive panels, yards of wiring, and multiple inverters make them more difficult to navigate.
- Accessibility issues: These properties are typically remote and often have restricted access, complicating equipment transport and maintenance timing.
- Workforce shortages: Like many businesses today, solar field maintenance companies frequently lack qualified (or reliable) help. Lack of crew members often translates into more challenges in managing upkeep.
- Inefficiency: Mowing acres of solar fields is time consuming and labor intensive, reducing productivity and increasing costs.
- Safety: Traditional commercial mowers and trimmers aren’t the safest option for challenging terrain, like uneven ground and slopes that increase the risk of employee injury and equipment damage.
Level Up Your Operations With Robotic Technology
Imagine if maintenance were safer, faster, and more efficient. RC Mowers makes that a reality with cutting-edge robotic solar field mowers designed to save time and money while boosting safety.
Explore Robotic MowersMow Like a Boss With Remote-Controlled Solar Field Mowers
The R Series Remote-Controlled Robotic Mower combines power, precision, and performance to deliver superior results.
Just one operator and a single joystick get the job done in less than half the time it would take a crew of seven with trimmers — cutting your labor needs and costs. Maneuver these brush-clearing machines around solar panels, inverters, and wiring from up to 1,000 feet away, safely off slopes and out of hazardous vegetation. Standard safety features, user-friendly operation, and rugged American design and manufacturing just might make it your favorite new crew member when it starts earning high-value niche revenue.
Double Down on Productivity with Autonomous Solar Field Mowers
Maintaining large expanses of traditional ground is easier and more efficient with our Autonomous Mowing Robot™ (AMR).
One intelligent AMR and advanced robotic technology generate the same revenue as a crew of three. Teach AMRs the pattern by mowing once, and they’ll remember what needs to be done every time you return. You and your crew can focus on the details while the AMR drives itself — no excessive supervision or complaining involved.
