Farmers pair crops and sheep with solar panels

Original: Why some farmers are pairing crops and grazing sheep with solar panels

Farmers are increasingly combining solar panels with agriculture, using the land beneath and around panels to grow crops or graze sheep. The approach, known as agrivoltaics, lets landowners earn income from both energy and food production while shading plants and livestock from harsh sun. Coverage highlights growing interest as farmers seek to diversify revenue and solar developers seek community-friendly land use.

Why now: Rising interest in renewable energy and farm diversification has put agrivoltaics in the spotlight.
