Cost-Effective, All-Natural Vegetation Management

Sustainable Solar Grazing provides all of the necessary livestock expertise and equipment to manage the grazing of sheep on your property. We truck our flock to and from the grazing site. Throughout the grazing period, we routinely visit the flock, providing water and the necessary supplements to maintain the health of the animals. Non-permanent electric fencing is used (set up and maintained by us), but it can be moved and adjusted at your request for any reason. At the end of the season, we remove our flock from the property and we prepare to return again the following spring.

Our grazing sheep produce the same baseline results as mechanical vegetation management, but at a much lower cost and without burning fossil fuel. Sheep naturally graze the grasses and weeds growing around and underneath solar panels. This method of vegetation management is quickly gaining popularity across the United States and Europe.

More than just cost savings...

Sustainable Solar Grazing's management-intensive grazing scheme will outperform any mechanical vegetation service because we will fundamentally improve the health of the soil. Our sheep build healthy soil in a natural manner – increasing both water infiltration and water holding capacity. Over time, this improved soil will help to protect any structure from the dangers of erosion and flooding. This growing, living soil will also help to moderate the ground temperature in the immediate area. On solar panel arrays, this means cooling equipment and optimizing solar panel performance.
