FAQs about Sheep farming technology under photovoltaic panels

Can solar panels help farmers graze'solar sheep'?

(Oregon State University) Raising "solar sheep" under solar panels offers a lucrative and sustainable opportunity for farmers, according to a study led by Western University. These sheep naturally graze under agrivoltaic arrays, reducing maintenance costs while boosting agricultural productivity and clean energy generation.

Are solar sheep profitable?

Far more profitable are “solar” sheep, raised specifically to trim grass and weeds under traditional solar panels or agrivoltaic arrays. Agrivoltaics is a portmanteau for agriculture and photovoltaics, more commonly known as solar panels, and describes the simultaneous use of farmland for agriculture and solar energy production.

Are solar panels a viable alternative to sheep production?

“The strategic partnership between sheep production and solar farms is certainly one of the most fantastic alternatives for the growth of both the sheep industry and for clean electricity production through solar panels,” said Lara, who studied animal science at Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil.

Why do sheep eat solar panels?

The solar panels shade the sheep and make them more comfortable on hot days, while fences around the solar farms protect them from predators. The grass shaded by solar panels also grows faster than unshaded grass, so there is more food for the sheep and, in turn humans, than naked pastures with no solar shade.
