This #donkey guards, patrols, and even maintains a #SolarPlant with more than 33,600 panels running at full capacity

by Warren van der Sandt, May 15, 2026

"Burrito, a rescued donkey, patrols 33,600 solar panels at Volkswagenโ€™s 9.5-megawatt facility in #ChattanoogaTN.

"He stands guard over 50 sheep, instantly alerting the flock to local predators.

"To Burrito, this 66-acre industrial site is his personal territory."

[...]

"Keeping vegetation under control quickly became a constant challenge.

"Traditional mowers risked damaging the five 'Sunny Central' inverters and miles of sensitive cabling.

"Fuel-powered tractors also risk leaking hydraulic fluid into the local water table.

"Silicon Ranch introduced #sheep to graze, reducing fire risks and soil erosion without using fossil-fuel mowers.

"The sheep were efficient, but they were sitting ducks for Tennesseeโ€™s #coyote and #bobcat populations.

"That changed how workers managed the site.

"Burrito was brought in to provide a '#BiologicalShield,' using his natural aggression toward canines to deter threats.

"They share the same diet as the sheep, making them the most cost-effective security choice."

This donkey guards, patrols, and even maintains a solar plant with more than 33,600 panels running at full capacity

At a Tennessee solar plant, a donkey has been patrolling the area around the panels. Protecting the grazing sheep that management brought in to the site.

Cuba Is Going Crazy For Chinese Solar Panels!

Is anyone trying to retrofit EVs with #SolarPanels ? I was looking down at the black roofs of cars in the heatwave and it just looked like prime real estate for PV. I know some new Chinese EVs are coming with them. But is it possible to stick PV to the roof with a mini inverter straight into the battery? I know the FF crowd are probably bunging bungs to the car manufacturers to stop this but, there is literally 2msq of PV space on every car just winking at the sun! Come to think of it are EVs coming with any possibility of mini plugs to take advantage of balcony/carport solar?
