4 Frequently Asked Questions about "Little Sheep Solar Power Generation"

Can sheep graze under solar PV farms?

Using sheep to graze underneath conventional solar PV farms has several potential benefits. First, in respect to the PV system, sheep can take the place of regular maintenance operations, reducing or even eliminating the use of herbicides, lawnmowers and weed-eaters, which have negative impacts on the environment and can also damage PV systems.

Could agrivoltaics improve the comparison between conventional sheep and solar power?

These latter stages of the life cycle would likely not improve the comparison between conventional sheep or solar power and their agrivoltaic counterparts, because the downstream process for sheep produced conventionally or through agrivoltaics is likely to be the same, as an example.

Do Sheep-based agrivoltaic systems improve environmental performance?

The most popular type of agrivoltaics in North America is grazing sheep under conventional PV farms. The environmental benefits of this integrated agrivoltaic system are unknown, so this ISO-compliant life cycle assessment study investigates the environmental performance of sheep-based agrivoltaic systems.

Are integrated sheep management and solar PV electricity production synergistic?

The synergistic benefits of integrated sheep management and solar PV electricity production are observed in the LCA data when comparing to conventional sheep and PV systems operated independently, although these differences are small in comparison to the benefits gained when grid electricity is replaced with solar PV.
