Sheep graze underneath solar panels at Oregon State University.

Sheep and solar panels make an efficient mix

Science Notes: Researchers found solar panel field grazers had same gain as conventionally grazed sheep

Land productivity could be greatly increased by combining sheep grazing and solar energy production on the same land, according to new research by Oregon State University scientists. This is believed to be the first study to investigate livestock production under agrivoltaic systems, where solar energy production is combined with agricultural production, such as planting agricultural […] Read more
