Agrivoltaics; Sheep enjoy shade on Solar Farms in the heat.

Agrivoltaics; Sheep enjoy shade on Solar Farms in the heat.

In Menzies we can benefit from Agrivoltaics. PV panels on the farm, Farmers earn more $ & we generate clean Electricity. Win, win! Trials have shown better Wool quality & better Meat too. Water condensation also drips onto ground for more grass growth! Land use optimised thru dual use. Sheep save farmers $ by "mowing" grass under PV panels. Sheep are not essential, but popular in Oz. Many types of Crops can benefit also.🐏 Much research around world into this.
