Solar Sheep Grazing
About the Process
Sheep turn vegetation management into a low-energy, natural process while optimizing solar panel functionality. PAREI is piloting the first in our area solar grazing with local sheep.
We are partnering with a nearby farm to bring this service to solar installers, municipalities, businesses, and homeowners.
