Solar shepherds, who manage sheep grazing under solar panels, are part of a growing movement that combines agriculture and renewable energy — and offers high incomes in the process. My recent study, conducted with Ivey Business School alum Adam Gasch and professional shepherd Rafael Lara from The. . Using sheep to graze vegetation at solar farms is gaining popularity. It preserves agricultural land, reduces costs and benefits both farmers and energy companies. This innovative approach, known as agrivoltaics, is revolutionizing how we think about land use while yielding. . Increasing community support for agrivoltaics, the practice of farming in and around solar projects, provides an opportunity for solar developers and the Michigan sheep industry to collaboratively meet the market demand for a steady supply of quality lamb. Sheep grazing in solar project.
