Farmers pair crops and sheep with solar panels
Original: Why some farmers are pairing crops and grazing sheep with solar panels
Some farmers are combining agriculture with solar energy by installing panels over their fields and letting sheep graze beneath them. Known as agrivoltaics, the approach allows land to produce both food and electricity at the same time, with panels providing shade for crops and livestock. Supporters say it makes farming more resilient and adds income, though adoption remains limited.
Why now: Growing interest in dual-use solar as farmers seek extra income and countries push renewable energy expansion
