Sheep grazing on solar farms provides economic and environmental benefits for all partners involved, from the solar industry to the farmer.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s no need to choose between using land for farming or for energy. Agrivoltaics, the combination of agriculture and solar electricity generation, where crops are grown and livestock raised underneath and alongside solar panels, means we can have the best of both worlds.<\/p>\n

Whilst the solar industry collaborates with scientists and farmers on how to grow fruit, vegetables and other staple crops in fields with solar panels, sheep grazing has proved to be one of the most common solutions. This combination not only offers numerous environmental advantages but also presents an opportunity for farmers, landowners and the solar industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
