SOLAR SHEEP

With more than 2 million existing solar installations, the U.S. photovoltaic capacity could more than double over the next five years. A growing global population means we’ll need to produce 70% more food by 2050. An emerging land-use solution is called agrivoltaics: co-locating solar panels with agriculture.

When sheep graze on fields also supporting solar arrays, that land can produce energy, wool, and meat concurrently as well as improve the soil with manure.
