What cutting width do I need for a 5-hectare solar farm?

A 5-hectare solar farm covers approximately 50,000 square meters. Choosing the right cutting width depends on the layout of solar panels, row spacing, ground conditions, obstacles, and mowing frequency.

Here are some general recommendations:

For a 5-hectare solar farm, an 800 mm or 1000 mm remote-controlled mower is a reasonable starting point for evaluation.

LEGAO offers an 800 mm GPS RTK mower for mapped mowing routes and an SMT-1000 crawler mower with a 1000 mm cutting width.

However, the actual working capacity depends on operating speed, turning time, obstacles, vegetation density, and battery or fuel management. The width alone cannot determine how quickly the entire site can be maintained.

For solar farms, also measure the clearance between panel supports and check whether the machine can safely access the areas underneath and around the panels.
