Abstract: The continuous increase in the value of gasoline and the effect of emission of gases from the burnt fuel into the environment, this necessitated the usage of the considerable sun power from the solar as a source of electricity to power a garden mower. A solar powered lawn mower become designed and evolved, based on the overall precept of mowing. The designed sun powered lawnmower contains of direct cutting-edge (D.C) motor, a rechargeable battery, sun panel, a chrome steel blade and manage switch. Mowing is done by means of the D.C motor which affords the desired torque had to force the stainless-steel blade that's directly coupled to the shaft of the D.C motor. The sun powered lawnmower is operated by way of activate the board which closes the circuit and lets in the waft of modern-day to the motor which in turn drive the blade used for mowing. The battery recharges via the solar charging controller. Performance evaluation of the developed system changed into performed with different styles of grasses. The machine was discovered to have an efficiency of 90% and a discipline capacity of 1.15 × 10-4 ha/hr. No tremendous distinction was discovered with the peak of grasses at 4% self-belief level.
