Putting Solar Panels in Grazing Fields is Good for Sheep

Sheep coexisting with solar panels in grazing fields benefit from shade and shelter, as per a study in the journal Scientific Reports. The panels' elevated positions create comfortable spaces for sheep, leading to decreased stress and improved welfare. Additionally, the panels' cooling effect mitigates heat stress, and the land underneath remains usable for agriculture. This dual-use approach addresses land competition between solar energy and farming, promoting sustainable land utilization. The study demonstrates a harmonious coexistence between renewable energy infrastructure and livestock farming, offering environmental and animal welfare advantages.
