Abstract: MARTIN, JOHN PATRICK M. and ARDIZA, ARJAY V. Development of a Solar Powered Grass Cutter. Undergraduate Design Project. Bachelor of Industrial Technology Major in Electrical Technology. Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. May, 2017. Adviser: Mr. Danielito R. Escano. Nowadays pollution is a major issue for the whole world. Pollution is manmade and can be seen in our own houses. In the case of a gas powered grass cutter, the emission of gases emitted by it is responsible for pollution. Also the cost of fuel is increasing hence it is not efficient. Some gardener use hand scissors to cut and maintain grass regularly which also takes more time, so the solar powered grass cutters are introduced. The study was conducted from September 2016 to March 2017 at Brgy. Agus-os Indang, Cavite and at Department of Industrial Engineering and Technology Building, Cavite State University, Indang, Cavite. The main objective of the study is to develop a solar powered grass cutter. Specifically, this study aimed to: 1. design construct develop a solar powered grass cutter; 2. that is economic and environmental friendly. 3. test and evaluate the developed solar powered grass cutter for acceptability, functionality; and 4. conduct cost analysis. After construction and installation the project was evaluated beside the Department of Industrial Engineering and Technology (DIET) building, CvSU, Indang, Cavite. It was composed of solar panel that serve as an energy source, battery as an energy storage, switch as a control for the system and dc motor that was connected in battery to perform grass cutting. Technology takes 6.2 hours to charge completely from drained battery, but it depends when sunlight is clear and good. The technology can run and operate for 5 hours. The prepared cart fabrication has a length of 81cm including the handle, width of 69cm including two wheels in front and a height of 105cm including 4 wheels up to handle. The social acceptability of the designed project was evaluated in accordance to its functionality, workability, durability and safety. The total mean of the entire criteria was 4.79, which is interpreted as "Outstanding". The total cost of the study amounted to P16,380.
