American farmers slid solar panels over 62,000 acres of farmland, and the biggest payoff had almost nothing to do with electricity
Long rows of solar panels march across the desert, and underneath them, where the ground should be baked and bare, there are rows of green.

According to solar sheep rancher, JR Howard, agrivoltaics is the greatest opportunity for the sheep industry in his lifetime.
What started with just 400 sheep grazing on one solar site has now expanded to over 10,000 sheep deployed across multiple installations.

As of 2024, there were 600+ agrivoltaics sites in the US producing 10 gigawatts of energy, enough to power 7.5M homes.
But the US is a small player compared with China, which generates more than 3x as much energy from such projects, or France, which gets 20% of its solar power from agrivoltaics.

While the grass growing in the shade was less dense, it was of higher quality. As a result, lambs grown in the shade of the PV systems gained the same amount of weight statistically speaking as the traditional lambs. 🧪🔌💡☀️💨💧🔋 spacedaily.com/b-lambs-graz...
Lambs grazing under an Oregon solar farm had 38 percent less grass in front of them than lambs in the open field alongside, and they put on the same weight to the gram, because shade makes a pasture g...
Shade-grown pasture delivers less grass but the same nutrition, suggesting solar farms might have a second life as livestock habitat.

Agrivoltaics combines PVs w/ farming practices. Both benefit from this mutualism. Plants get shade while PVs are cooled by evapotranspiration, increasing efficiency. Works well w/ sheep grazing pasture below panels. But goats - not so much - they jump on panels! www.pv-magazine.com/2024/11/29/a...
