Customer challenge:
In 2026, a leading multi-gigawatt clean energy asset management enterprise worked with us to purchase a MCR700 Air flail Slope Mower. Before this, they were clearing heavy weeds, brush, and wild grass beneath solar panel arrays by hand using traditional weed eaters and push mowers. Clearing a typical 50-acre utility-scale solar farm section would take around 50 hours with a 4-person crew – totaling 200 labor hours.
“The biggest benefit is that it saves massive man-hours and completely eliminates safety hazards. A lot of the large-scale solar power stations we maintain feature tight rows under tracking photovoltaic panels and rough, undulating terrain. We used to struggle to hand-cut everything with weed eaters; now we deploy the MCR700 Air and knock the weed control out in a fraction of the time, allowing us to re-allocate our technical workforce to higher-priority electrical maintenance. It saves copious amounts of man-hours.”

Managed by a leading state-owned power generation enterprise overseeing massive utility-scale photovoltaic portfolios across China, this organization delivers benchmark-setting clean energy generation. Backed by a steadfast commitment to technological innovation, strict national safety compliance, and rigorous prevention of panel shading and fire risks, they manage vast multi-megawatt solar arrays in some of the country’s most challenging terrains. With an exemplary zero-accident safety record, their power station management and technical teams are continuously pioneering advanced, remote-controlled automation to optimize solar site efficiency and elevate working conditions.
In 2026, they scaled up by acquiring additional MCR700 units. Before this, heavy manual weed clearance was a severe bottleneck. For every 50-acre solar field block, manual clearance would take around 50 hours and 4 employees – or 200 total labor hours.Now, with the remote-operated tracked mower, they can complete the exact same area in under 4 hours with just 1 technician – allowing them to reallocate skilled field staff where they are truly needed.
“The biggest benefit is that it protects delicate DC wiring harnesses and prevents major panel shading energy losses. Tall grass and weed overgrowth under solar arrays cause severe power drops and critical fire hazards during dry seasons. We used to struggle to cut grass manually around low-clearance mounting structures, but now we use our remote mower and clear the rows safely and rapidly. It is an absolute game-changer for utility-scale solar farm vegetation control.”

As with any critical renewable energy asset maintenance, equipment dependability is essential. And our remote-controlled mowers deliver.
“The machine is built like a tank; we use it across multiple demanding solar site environments. It is an incredibly well-engineered robot that is virtually free of mechanical downtime. We run it continuously during peak growing seasons across gravel, slopes, and uneven soil. We put it through the absolute paces and it consistently holds up—it’s a heck of a machine.”
The wide variety of terrain and work in their portfolio includes ground-mounted solar farm weed clearing, perimeter security fence vegetation management, retention pond maintenance, and steep slope mowing around high-voltage substations, making equipment versatility a top priority.
“From cutting grass every 2 weeks between tight solar panel rows using its 700mm cutting width to clearing waist-high and taller brush on site boundaries. During the peak summer and autumn months when vegetation explodes, we rely heavily on its unmatched 35° climbing power and robust cutting torque. These are exceptional products. That is the exact reason we expanded our fleet and invested in additional machines.”
