A solar farm in southern England put 40 native sheep under 20,000 panels

across about 30 acres to graze in winter, and the twist is that the flock didn’t just “mow the grass”, it helped protect wildflowers and pollinators while using the panels as storm shelter, turning a power site into a two-job landscape called agrivoltaics

Sheep are helping run a solar farm, turning grazing into clean-energy maintenance and wildlife-friendly land care.

Sun’agri, one of the largest agricvoltaic farms in the world reports that vineyards intercropped with solar panels can increase yields up to 60%.

The solar panels reduce water loss from evapotraspiration and moderate temperature extremes. The microclimate they create decreases plant mortality and promotes healthy, carbon-rich soils.

Zelestra Opens First #Italian #Agrivoltaic Plant

#Zelestra has brought its first operational #Solar project in #Italy online with the launch of a 6.5 MWdc agrivoltaic plant in #Ginosa, #Puglia.

The project is expected to generate 11.7 GWh of #CleanElectricity each year, enough to supply around 4,000 Italian households. It is also projected to avoid almost 3,700 tonnes of #CO2 emissions annually.
