Abstract
Thesis Abstract: Farmers were greatly impacted by the improvised solar-powered e-grass cutter that used microcontroller technology. This might be used to agriculture and encourage farmers to develop equipment and products made of recycled materials. The current study primarily focuses on the development, design, and evaluation of an improvised solar-powered E-Grass cutter that makes use of microcontroller technology. The actual questionnaire that was distributed to the chosen respondents was used by the researchers. The researchers utilized descriptive statistics to interpret the data because they provide a quantitative description or summary of the characteristics of the data collection. The weighted mean and percentage were employed in all statistical calculations. According to the study's findings, 26 of the respondents were farmers. Functionality, durability, and usability all received weighted averages of 3.60, 3.93, and 3.61. and safety achieved a weighted average of 3.53 overall. According to the evaluation of the farmers utilizing the E-grass cutter, the makeshift E-grass cutter's functionality, durability, usefulness, and safety all satisfied the necessary standards to carry out its intended functions.
