Lanracorp’s Approach to Solar Farm Construction: FAQs

What services are included in solar field maintenance?

Lanracorp provides mowing, brush clearing, herbicide application, access road upkeep, and site cleanup. These services keep solar fields accessible, compliant, and free from vegetation that can cause shading, fire risk, or equipment interference.

How does Lanracorp approach vegetation management around solar infrastructure?

We use low-profile, specialty, and sometimes remote-operated mowing equipment to safely maintain areas under and around panel arrays, inverters, and fencing. All work is performed with consideration for cable routing, racking height, and soil compaction limits.

Can Lanracorp work on active solar sites without disrupting operations?

Yes. Crews are trained to work around energized systems and coordinate with site supervisors to prevent interference with scheduled inspections, monitoring, or service activities. Work is sequenced to avoid downtime or restricted access.

What mowing schedule is recommended for solar fields?

Most sites benefit from two to four vegetation cycles per year, depending on growth rates and local regulations. We assess each site’s terrain, plant species, and access conditions to build a tailored maintenance plan.

Does Lanracorp provide pre-construction clearing and site prep for solar sites?

Yes. We perform land clearing, rough grading, road building, and fencing during the construction phase. Work is completed to spec and scheduled around field mobilizations.

Can you maintain fence lines, gravel paths, and non-array zones?

Absolutely. We maintain fence perimeters, stormwater paths, laydown areas, and gravel roads as part of full-site service. This ensures vegetation does not obstruct access, damage fencing, or block drainage flow.

What erosion control measures can Lanracorp install?

We offer installation of silt fencing, turf reinforcement mats, seeding, and straw blankets for slope stabilization. These services help meet permit and inspection requirements during and after construction.

Where does Lanracorp provide solar maintenance services?
