Design and Implementation of Solar-Powered Grass Cutter: A Prototype

Since ancient times, Sunlight has been the main source of heat energy. Alternative energy sources, commonly termed non-conventional or renewable energy sources, are naturally available like Solar, Wind, and Hydro. It is used as an alternative source of energy in place of fossil fuels, which cause pollution. This paper describes how we designed and built a solar-powered grass cutter. By incorporating solar panels, the machine harnesses sunlight as its main energy source. The main objective of developing the Prototype model of the grass cutter is to create an eco-friendly solution for lawn maintenance that reduces greenhouse emissions and minimizes the usage of fossil fuels. This prototype is designed so that it is controlled remotely by using Arduino UNO. After developing the prototype model, the system analysis is accomplished, and based on the results, the solar grass cutter's reliability with the system's high efficiency is compared with previous studies. This project aims to showcase solar-powered technology in practical applications to inspire the adoption of non-conventional energy sources in everyday tasks.
