Ride along with me as I mow as many yards as I can using only solar power from my trailer. Turns out Florida thunderstorms might be more of a hindrance than running out of battery!

  • Great setup, I'm in the process of transforming my trailer into solar as well. I have zero knowledge of what to do but I'll get it, thanks for sharing!
  • @juancarrera5524
    I was explaining a concept like this to a co worker and he did not believe it was possible. Super cool to see what you are doing! It would be cool to see a breakdown of the cost and economics of your rig and business. Subbed, keep up the good work.
  • @roccosperanza
    I'm sure you are planning to do this, but just in case, it would make sense to put a ventilation fan in the trailer.The batteries are going to degrade very quickly with that level of heat.

    I have the leaf blower, Weedwhacker, snow blower chainsaw, nexus power station, both 2000 w and 400 W I also have the hundred watt LED light which is excellent for nighttime . I exclusively charge all of my batteries from my off grid solar system and it’s very rewarding. My electric car also runs on Solar. I’m really glad to see other people doing the stuff too.

    I mow my parent’s lawn and their house is on a corner. I switched to electric mowing with the Greenworks 80v series. That included mower, leaf blower, an edger and a trimmer that uses the same batteries. I mentioned their corner lot. Because that eats up three batteries for a single mowing, I recharge while mowing and using eBay have added extra batteries and a extra charger. Really happy with the switch from gasoline to electric.
  • Nice set-up.... and finally a lawn professional that doesn't like blowing the clippings on to the street.... It really bothers me to see so many just blowing it to the neighbors or street when there done. 👏
  • @LittleSpot
    In my german camper van, I added a 550W Solarmodul, an small victron mppt and 2,5kWh Battery. I love it to cook and charge my e bike while traveling. Your setup is a absolut dream setup :D. Once done, you reduce your noise and cost a lot. In germany one kWh is around 30 euro ct. This video was very very cool.

    Ugh! Those white flowered weeds. Cleaning the road...admire that.
  • @HumanIngenuity
    Solar and electric vehicles/equipment is still developing technology with short falls, difficulties, and a lack of resources, so huge bravo to this guy taking on the challenge, pioneering a different energy source for his industry at a commercial level.
  • Selling the trailer fully assembled in California would be a huge money maker with their mandated electric for commercial landscapers
  • @DoritosResidue
    This has to be the coolest set up that has to do with anything solar that I've ever seen!
  • @jacoblee3427
    The vibe that I didn’t expect but the good vibe that got me watch this till the end 👍
  • @danaschoen432
    My friend YOU are on the leading edge of what will be the norm. This is AWESOME!
  • @Erickthedreamgiver
    You should put a tesla charger on the front of the trailer The use of the extra power that you are producing
  • @mestorelbs2131
    I mow my father’s yard with an E-Go mower. I love renewable resources. I also drive a Tesla this hits every spot. Keep it up love watching these videos!!!
  • @flaviosilva6102
    It's interesting to discover a good channel with good content at the very beginning. I foresee a lot of success.
  • @TravisAMitchell
    Heck yeah. I do landscaping in Gainesville and we use all electric and have been wanting/needing to figure out a set up like this.
  • @oisiaa
    I had an idea for a business exactly like this a few years ago. Very cool to see someone do it! I'll be subscribing and looking for more!
