Luckily we can advise you on the.

Cutting grass under solar panels. A maintenance program is essential in order for solar park systems to work correctly and deliver maximum financial returns. Unfortunately in our experience planned site maintenance is often overlooked. So every solar panel matters. Cutting services to facility buildings and inverters.

Weed or vegetation management is particularly important for ground mounted solar systems. And if the grass is too tall then they only collect about half of the energy needed. At home mowing the lawn is one of summertime s most frequent chores and it s no different for the solar industry. 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. Solar shading decreased production 5 3 percent to 19 percent. The institute elevated 720 solar panels high enough for farm machinery to harvest plants underneath and nearby according to a 2017 press release. The system uses 6v batteries to power the vehicle movement motors as well as the grass cutter motor.
