Co-locating Utility-scale Solar with Livestock & Pollinators
Agrivoltaics
Solar development and agricultural use can exist not only side-by-side, but increasingly are found together. “Solar grazing” is a method of vegetation control for solar sites that utilizes livestock, primarily sheep. While solar grazing is currently in pilot phases on various sites, it is increasing in popularity. Solar companies can contract with local farmers, resulting in a relationship that is financially beneficial for both farmers and solar developers.
Examples of Agrivoltaics – Configurations for Farmers.
Agrivoltaics
The PDF shows configurations for solar arrays that are becoming popular on farmland. Sustainable grazing practices can improve soils and reduce the cost of standard mowing practices.
