4 FAQs about [Solar power plant sheep breeding subsidies]

Can sheep be used on solar farms?

The study, led by engineering and Ivey Business School professor Joshua Pearce, shows utilizing sheep on solar farms was not only lucrative for farmers but offered a promising path forward to augment agriculture with solar technology. The findings were published by the high impact journal Applied Energy.

Are agrivoltaic sheep a good idea?

“Agrivoltaic sheep are a simple and easy solution for the co-existence of agriculture and solar energy on Canadian farms. The sheep like the shade, plus the solar panels increase grass yield and protect sheep from predators,” said Pearce, Western's John M. Thompson Chair in Innovation.

Are'solar' sheep profitable?

Western professor Joshua Pearce collaborated with professional shepherd Rafael Lara on a study that shows the profitability of “solar” sheep, raised specifically to trim grass and weeds under traditional solar panels or agrivoltaic arrays.

Are solar panels a viable alternative to sheep production?

“The strategic partnership between sheep production and solar farms is certainly one of the most fantastic alternatives for the growth of both the sheep industry and for clean electricity production through solar panels,” said Lara, who studied animal science at Universidade de São Paulo in Brazil.
