Here is my electric Wheel Horse B-145 that I converted to solar power. I had it at the Wheel Horse show last year and plan to be there this year!

Hi
The tractor voltage is 36 volts. The solar panel is the type used on houses and is 30 volts. I found a special charge controller that boost the voltage of the panel up to 36 volts. It cost more than a regular charge controller but works very good.

I do have a deck but have not tried mowing with it yet. The tractor is supposed to mow 2 acres without the solar.

I brought it to the Wheel Horse show in Gettysburg last year and plan to be there again this year. I drove it all day and still had a full charge.
