So, parents are getting on and the garden is too much. Surprisingly hard to get someone to get the grass. There's options of robomower that would work on the ground but there's no real option for power.

I think a solar panel and "power bank" charger thing might work especially if we chop the area into two and have two mows on separate days. 

Something like this.

There is a simple option to site the panels and store the generator which makes plugging in a mower base station quite simple.

Or is there an easy trickle charge option

Is this a completely silly idea? Yes I know it'll be pricey and the unreliable gardener is cheaper but...

I have a robomower (A Gardena something that is known as Sir Lawnsalot). I have no idea how much power it draws, but the cable that defines the cut area needs to be power ed. I don't know how much that draws.

1.5k+UKP for the mower and a basic install plus the power bank. Running a 20m cable in a duct to the station is probably a cheaper choice
