The solar field provides power to 211 homes per year.

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. 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. Grass cutting under solar pv panels. So every solar panel matters.

Luckily we can advise you on the. Unfortunately in our experience planned site maintenance is often overlooked. Solar shading decreased production 5 3 percent to 19 percent. Tall weeds growing around the installation can create shading which can negatively impact system production.

The researchers planted wheat potatoes celeriac and clover grass in the open and under the panels and compared the yields. And if the grass is too tall then they only collect about half of the energy needed. A maintenance program is essential in order for solar park systems to work correctly and deliver maximum financial returns. Weed or vegetation management is particularly important for ground mounted solar systems.
