AdvaNtages of Solar grazing
- Cost effectiveness versus traditional vegetation management
- Keeps land in agricultural use
- Positive local and regional publicity
- Zero use of herbicides
- Eliminates costly repairs to damaged panels, from flying debris caused from gas-powered lawn mowers
- Sheep manage vegetation in locations, such as under panels, which humans and machines struggle to manage efficiently.
- Improves the productivity of your solar project by eliminating the accumulation of dust on your panels, created by lawnmowers.
“The sheep even help the solar panels be more efficient because their grazing "makes the root systems go deeper and the vegetation more lush," Finnegan said. That in turn allows the soil to hold more water, he said. When the evaporation process happens during the day, it helps cool the panels, which allow them to produce more electricity.”
