Abstract

The constant rise in fuel prices and the impact of emissions from fuel into the atmosphere made has it necessary to look at solar energy as a source of power. The fossil fuel-powered lawn mowers have a tendency to freeze and not operate in the chilly and harsh atmosphere besides causing air pollution and noise pollution. The objective of this research was to design and develop a lawn cutting machine powered by solar energy and is user-and environmentally friendly, less noisy and lighter in weight. The designed lawn mower comprises one brushless direct current (BLDC) motor, solar panel, battery and charge controller. The solar lawn mower has an efficiency of 81.33%. The developed model can used in playgrounds, lawns, and golf courses to achieve environmental sustainability goals, save energy, minimise noise pollution.
