February 1, 2026 — To address the unique and stringent grass maintenance requirements of large-scale solar power stations across the Oceania region, Shandong Junlian International Trade Co., Ltd, a professional global supplier of intelligent remote-controlled mowing equipment, has officially launched customized research and development of a dedicated ultra-low profile remote-controlled mower in deep cooperation with local Oceania clients. Tailored exclusively for under-photovoltaic panel operation, the new model features an ultra-compact overall height controlled strictly below 30 centimeters. This groundbreaking product effectively fills the long-standing market gap for professional narrow-space intelligent mowing equipment in the photovoltaic maintenance industry, marking Junlian’s in-depth penetration into the segmented new energy green maintenance market.
In recent years, driven by the global energy transition and local environmental policies, the Oceania region has witnessed explosive expansion of large-scale photovoltaic power plants. Vast areas of solar panel arrays have been widely built on suburban lands, rural fields and industrial idle lands, forming a huge new energy power generation system. However, large-area weed overgrowth under and around photovoltaic panels has become a major industry challenge restricting the safe and efficient operation of solar power stations. Excess vegetation covers solar panels, blocks sunlight, and greatly reduces photovoltaic power generation efficiency. Moreover, overgrown grass can easily trigger hidden fire hazards in dry seasons, posing serious safety threats to power station equipment and operational stability. In addition, traditional manual weeding requires massive labor investment, resulting in high maintenance costs, low working efficiency, and potential safety risks for on-site workers. Conventional commercial mowers are restricted by their relatively high body structure and cannot enter the narrow confined space under photovoltaic brackets at all, making regular automated maintenance impossible. Faced with these prominent industry pain points and the lack of targeted professional equipment, local Oceania industry partners actively sought technical cooperation and finally joined hands with Junlian to carry out targeted product customization and joint R&D projects.
Centering on the core operational demand of stable, safe and efficient under-PV mowing, Junlian’s professional technical R&D team conducted targeted overall structural optimization and iterative upgrading for the new model. The team comprehensively optimized the whole machine layout, including chassis structure, power unit arrangement, walking transmission mechanism and internal pipeline design, breaking through the structural limitations of traditional mowing equipment. Through repeated three-dimensional modeling, structural simulation analysis, terrain adaptation testing and multiple rounds of prototype trial production and modification, the R&D team successfully compressed the overall height of the equipment to below 30 centimeters while ensuring structural stability. The ultra-low body design enables the mower to flexibly shuttle through dense and narrow photovoltaic support gaps. It can perfectly adapt to the uneven ground, rugged terrain and scattered obstacle environments commonly seen in Oceania’s large solar farms, achieving efficient, automatic and unattended weed cleaning and lawn maintenance operations in narrow under-PV spaces.
Despite the ultra-low profile structural innovation, the new customized model fully inherits Junlian’s mature and reliable core technologies accumulated through years of market verification. The equipment retains the high-precision intelligent remote control system, strong cross-country climbing performance, and excellent dustproof and waterproof grade that characterize Junlian’s flagship products, ensuring stable operation in complex outdoor environments. The research team also independently optimized the low-position floating cutting deck for photovoltaic scenarios. The upgraded cutting structure achieves an ultra-low cutting height with precise positioning, ensuring thorough and clean mowing results. Meanwhile, the intelligent anti-collision protection system effectively avoids scratching, collision damage and structural wear to photovoltaic brackets and power station facilities during operation, fully meeting the high-standard safety protection requirements of new energy power stations. In addition, the new model adopts an optimized energy-saving power scheme, featuring low power consumption and ultra-long battery endurance, which fully meets the demands of long-hour, high-frequency and large-area continuous operation of large-scale solar power plants in Oceania.
Oceania cooperative clients spoke highly of Junlian’s targeted customized R&D capabilities and efficient project progress. They stated that the 30-centimeter ultra-low height limit of the new mower is highly compatible with the universal support spacing and under-panel space standards of local mainstream photovoltaic power stations in Oceania. The intelligent remote-control unmanned operation mode completely solves the pain points of high labor cost, low efficiency and high safety risks of traditional manual maintenance. Both parties have reached a clear cooperation roadmap, and will further accelerate prototype performance testing, on-site field trial operation in local solar power stations, and precise parameter calibration. The finalized customized ultra-low profile mower is scheduled to be officially launched and promoted in the Oceania market within 2026.
A senior R&D engineer from Junlian pointed out that scenario-based customized R&D has become a core strategic direction for the company’s high-quality development and market differentiation competition. The newly developed under-PV ultra-low profile mower completely breaks the height limitation of traditional intelligent mowing equipment, precisely targets the segmented new energy maintenance track, and successfully opens up a brand-new blue ocean market for photovoltaic green intelligent maintenance.
This in-depth customized cooperation with Oceania clients further consolidates Junlian’s market layout and brand influence in the Oceania region. It fully demonstrates the company’s flexible market response capability, independent technological innovation strength and professional customized service system. Moving forward, Junlian will continue to focus on segmented application scenarios, continuously enrich its product matrix, and provide efficient, safe and intelligent green maintenance solutions for global photovoltaic parks, modern orchard nurseries, urban narrow green belts and various complex narrow-space operation scenarios, steadily strengthening its leading position in the global intelligent garden machinery industry.
