Solar Charged Lawnmower

February 18, 2008

The Basic Idea

An electric lawnmower that utilizes solar power as an energy source will address a number of issues that standard internal combustion engine mowers do not. An electric lawnmower with a solar charger will be easier to use. There is no messy dangerous gasoline to deal with. It will eliminate those pesky trips to the gas station for fill-ups. Just plug the mower into the charging station when not in use and it will be charged and ready for your next mow! Most importantly it eliminates the emissions of an internal combustion mower.

If you get started on this one now you should be able to pull together all the bits in time for the May 24 Weekend. If you actually consider starting this process drop us a line.
