One example is the European independent power producer Alight, which recently introduced sheep to mow the grass at its 7MW solar park in Sweden.
Alight has sheep-proofed the Åhus solar park to ensure it is a safe environment for both the sheep and the resident shepherd, including education on how to operate in an electrical producing facility for the shepherd.
And by putting the spacing between, or lifting up the panels, you can actually continue to manage crops on the solar park as well.” McCalmont told me in an interview many farmers in the United States have difficult grid connections and can see the benefits of going off-grid, or they are grappling with rising prices for diesel and looking to buy electric tractors.“We're rapidly moving towards a world where everything's electrified,” he added. “The best way to produce energy in that kind of a world is locally to where it will be consumed, so putting solar panels in fields is a great idea for many farmers.
