Selecting the Optimal Sheep for Solar Grazing
As solar developers seek sustainable vegetation management solutions, sheep have emerged as an ideal partner, offering cost-effective and environmentally favorable grazing services.
1,700 sheep thrive among solar panels, transforming the landscape
In a groundbreaking experiment at the Wellington Solar Farm in New South Wales, Australia, an innovative approach to farming is being tested. This unique study involves 1,700 merino
Agrivoltaics: Considerations Co-locating Solar and Agricultural
Livestock grazing—including more than 20,000 acres of sheep grazing—has been implemented at several solar projects, and is being evaluated for cost effectiveness and feasibility at various scales.

Sheep grazing as sustainable vegetation management for solar
The expansion of solar photovoltaic production necessitates the need for vegetation management at solar sites. Solar grazing, an agrivoltaic (APV) approach involving vegetation
Behind America''s Largest Solar Grazing Agreement
Instead of industrial power facilities with uniform mowing, visitors see green fields with flowers, pollinators, and sheep grazing peacefully among solar panels. Different vegetation levels
Co-location of sheep grazing and solar energy production yields
Our study highlights the potential for sheep grazing in solar facilities to simultaneously benefit sheep and solar energy production systems. Solar grazing can present a “win-win" scenario
Sheep Grazing Under Solar Panels: Dual Land Use | Education
Solar grazing is a form of agrivoltaics–a land use strategy that combines renewable energy production with livestock grazing. On solar farms, sheep graze beneath and around the
Solar Grazing with Sheep — A Win-Win for Renewable Energy and
Solar grazing is an innovative practice gaining momentum across the United States, where sheep graze beneath and around solar panels on solar farms. This dual-use approach not only supports clean
The Bright Future of Agrivoltaics: Harnessing Solar Power and Sheep
One of the most successful and scalable applications of agrivoltaics is solar grazing with sheep. Instead of relying exclusively on mechanical mowing, herbicides, or bare ground beneath
