FLAGSHIP SEGMENT for the SL — this is exactly the deployment type the machine was developed for. Low panels (from 75 cm) + large areas + no charging infrastructure = a combination no other machine covers.
Situation
A utility-scale solar farm with tightly spaced panels and low structures. Tens to hundreds of hectares, where most of the grassed area lies UNDER the panels, not between them. A remote site with no facilities — no power connection, just a service road and fencing.
Problem
Standard machines (92 cm and above) can't fit under the panels — they can only handle the corridors, leaving manual brush cutters to take over underneath. Electric low-profile machines fit under the panels, but on a remote site without a power connection, charging becomes a logistical problem — and a 7-hour runtime on a large farm means breaks in the middle of a shift.
SOLUTION
Fits under panels like the electric. Runs all day like the combustion. Refuels in 2 minutes — and keeps going.
The Spider Autonomous 2.0 SL was developed directly from the requirements of solar farm operators. The 72 cm profile fits under structures from 75 cm — covering most utility-scale installations, including areas directly beneath the panels. The Kawasaki engine with a 16 l tank means all-day operation with refueling in just a few minutes, with no dependence on charging infrastructure. One operator controls 3 machines at once.
The heavy-duty mulching system handles even tall vegetation up to 2.5 m — a typical state of a farm after spring growth, which an electric machine would need to cut twice. For farms with their own power connection and emission sensitivity, consider the Spider Electric 2.0 (circular charging, €0.50/ha). For structures under 75 cm, Raymo (51 cm) is the only solution.

Why choose the Spider Autonomous 2.0 SL?
-
72 cm profile = fits under most utility-scale structures, mows directly beneath the panels
-
2-minute refueling = no downtime, no dependence on charging infrastructure
-
Heavy-duty Kawasaki handles tall spring vegetation (up to 2.5 m) in a single pass
-
Lightest Spider (365 kg) = minimal ground pressure between rows
-
GPS-RTK navigation around structures and fences without perimeter wires
-
