A friend of mine has one of the Husky solar mowers...He reckons they
trample more grass than they cut. You might need the mower to 'hover' if it
is going to be effective. Also the price is a bit too high, about 3000 UK
pounds or so.

P.S. It's silent, except that it beeps regularly while operating.  It also
has other beep patterns it uses when it gets stuck, etc.  Also, you have to
mow a narrow strip around the outside edge of your yard that the mower
blades can't reach and also in any shady areas, which the mower is
programmed to avoid.  Personally, I'd like to get one just to see how my
cats react to a large green "mouse" bumbling around their territory, going
"Beep beep!".
