Farmers pair crops and sheep with solar panels
Original: Why some farmers are pairing crops and grazing sheep with solar panels
Farmers are increasingly combining solar panels with agriculture, growing crops beneath panels and grazing sheep on solar farms. The practice, known as agrivoltaics, lets land produce food and electricity at the same time, with panels providing shade for plants and pasture while sheep keep grass under the arrays trimmed.
Why now: Growing interest in dual-use renewable energy solutions as farmers seek new income amid energy transition
