Abstract :
The use of renewable energy resources has
been increasing day by day, such as solar power. It leads
to a growing interest in developing new systems which
make use of it. One such system is the fully automated
solar grass cutter, it uses solar energy to power itself and
store solar energy in a battery in the form of electrical
energy.It can also be controlled remotely by using the
internet of things (IoT) or controlled automatically when
connected to a power supply. The overall system
efficiency is 94.37% and the existing model has 54%
efficiency. This projectuses several components such as
the Arduino Uno, Node MCU, ultrasonic sensor, motor
drivers, solar plates, and DC motors. The IOT mode uses
the ThingSpeak cloud application. Thisdevice is designed
to automatically detect the obstacle and cut grass in a
lawn while being powered by solar energy.The maximum
efficiency during clear weather, of the charge controller
is98% at maximum solar voltage, while the maximum
efficiency of charge control during cloudy weather
conditions is about 70%.
