Advancements in battery and solar lawn care technology

Overview

Advancements in lawn care technology are increasingly focusing on battery-powered and autonomous solutions. Recent developments include high-performing battery-powered manual mowers, such as the Stihl RMA 235, which is noted for quiet operation and effective cutting in various conditions, and the Makita DLM330Z, which features a mulch kit for organic fertilization.

In the robotic sector, Gardena has introduced the SILENO sun, a solar-powered robot mower designed for small lawns up to 100 square meters. This model distinguishes itself by operating without boundary cables or a dedicated charging station, instead utilizing integrated solar panels to charge via daylight. The device uses camera-based AI to identify obstacles and lawn edges. The product is scheduled for a 2027 seasonal release with a suggested retail price of 4,799 NOK.
