Business Description
SunScout designs and commercializes autonomous, solar-powered robotic mowers and related clean-energy solutions. Its proprietary deployable solar array (DSA) technology is designed to let mowers operate off-grid by automatically deploying solar panels for charging in stationary mode and retracting during operation. The company’s product line includes the SunScout Eco for residential use, SunScout Pro for light commercial sites, and SunScout ProMax for large institutional grounds, supported by safety features, AI-based navigation, and optional RTK positioning.
Beyond mowers, SunScout operates two complementary segments: Solar Power Development Solutions (EPC services for commercial and industrial solar projects in the U.S., New Zealand, and selected international regions) and Engineering Products and Services (precision fabrication and mechanical engineering in New Zealand under the Brunton Engineering trade name). Distribution plans include partnerships with WWS in Europe and MowBot in Australia/New Zealand, with a planned assembly and distribution facility in Austin, Texas to support North American growth. The company also holds a minority-owned Thailand assembly JV for the Eco model and has a non-binding MoU with seed2soil to explore product collaboration.
