6,000 sheep will soon be grazing on 10,000 acres of Texas solar fields | The largest solar grazing project in the U.S. will reduce mowing costs and emissions — and make for some happy sheep.

1. Basically call it agrivoltaics, these sheep can make for quite some wool, milk and lamb.

2. Electricity and Curry!

   A timeless combination!

3. Goat cheese!

4. I think this is a big win against people who dislike the idea of using farm land for solar. In some marginal lands it probably preserves farming on that property that would otherwise go out of active farming use or would be converted to a tree plantation.

5. There are worse options than sheep certainly but I can’t help but think we could have a more diverse situation than the solar/sheep ecosystem
