Visited a solar farm in rural Ohio and saw something I didn't expect
My buddy works maintenance at a big solar farm near Lima. He showed me around last weekend. I figured it would be rows of panels and that's it. But they had sheep grazing all around the panels to keep the grass down. No mowers, no gas, just animals doing the work. The guy said it cuts their landscaping costs by about 60% and the sheep get shade from the panels in summer. Has anyone else seen this kind of setup on solar farms?

Just make sure the sheep can't get to the electrical connections, they'll chew through anything.
