Frequently Asked Questions

The MK-V is a fully electric, off-seat tractor that automates your routine ground-cover upkeep across solar arrays. Once you launch Autodrive, it will automatically navigate your panel rows and site perimeters to perform mowing passes or other tasks—fully autonomous, with no manual steering required.
MK-V Autodrive uses full safety guardrails, 360° cameras and collision-detection logic that automatically stops the tractor if it encounters an obstacle. Operators no longer need to stay onboard for hours between panel rows, eliminating fatigue-related errors and reducing exposure. Autodrive delivers repeatable, consistent passes, allowing a single supervisor to oversee multiple tractors and cover more acres per hour.

Every MK-V tractor connects to the Wingspan AI app, where you have:

• Control: Plan and launch autonomous missions, then monitor each tractor’s live GPS position and status on a map.
• Visibility: Receive real-time alerts (e.g. safety stops, low battery) and access historical video clips of completed operations.
• Insight: Review built-in metrics—daily, weekly and year-to-date—on acres covered, run hours, and battery usage, all within the app.

The MK-V tractor integrates seamlessly with your current workflows. It uses standard tractor-mounted mowers you already own and runs on the same schedules you set today. A single off-seat supervisor can dispatch and oversee multiple tractors via the Solar Autodrive app, so you don’t need extra headcount or heavy-equipment certifications.

MK-V tractors receive over-the-air software updates. The latest Autodrive capabilities, performance optimizations and safety enhancements are delivered automatically with no manual intervention required.
