@clim8_solutions "New study" -- sheep & solar has been a known thing for quite some time. I do worry about the quality of peer reviewed studies! https://www.abc.net.au/news/2016-08-15/uq-uses-sheep-to-cut-grass-at-gatton-solar-research-farm/7734770
UQ uses sheep to cut grass at Gatton solar research farm

A small flock of sheep helps University of Queensland scientists reduce operating costs at Australia's largest solar research facility west of Brisbane.

@clim8_solutions And even the state government is on board and promoting agrivoltaic operation. https://era.dpi.qld.gov.au/id/eprint/12988/1/Bowen_Agrivoltaic%20grazing%20systems%20in%20Qld_February%202024.pdf
