ABSTRACT:
A solar powered lawnmower is disclosed comprising an electric motor, a rechargeable battery pack, and a panel of photovoltaic cells built into the handle of the lawnmower. The angle of the handle is arranged to ensure that the photovoltaic cells will receive nearly maximal solar exposure when the lawnmower is left in the sun with the angle of the handle approximately perpendicular to the sun's rays. In case of insufficient photovoltaic recharging, the solar powered lawnmower comprises the means to employ standard AC current to recharge the battery pack. The solar powered lawnmower is used to mow a lawn without generating air pollution or excessive noise pollution.
