If you’re ready to implement solar grazing but haven’t yet secured a grazing partner, Sunovis Ranch can provide on-site sheep grazing services for projects within range of our operation. Our experienced team brings the flock, manages day-to-day grazing, and ensures vegetation stays under control.
We supply the right number of sheep based on your acreage and forage availability to keep vegetation at appropriate levels throughout the growing season.
We handle all aspects of sheep care, including health monitoring, supplemental feeding when needed, and humane treatment consistent with best practices.
Our team moves sheep through paddocks to optimize forage use, support plant regrowth, and protect soil health.
We coordinate with your O&M team and provide regular updates to ensure seamless integration with site operations.
Solar grazing uses sheep to control vegetation under solar panels. They keep grass and weeds in check while promoting soil and ecosystem health—all without damaging equipment or requiring chemical inputs.
In our experience, a stocking rate of one to two ewes (and their lambs) per acre is typically effective for managing vegetation on a solar site. The exact number may vary, but this range provides a reliable starting point for most projects in the Midwest.
At Sunovis Ranch we believe in year-round grazing, so sheep will be on-site in winter.
We design a paddock system that ensures both safety and consistent access to water. Paddocks protect against predators and prevent escapes, and includes strategically placed water access points and piping layouts so that every paddock has reliable, easy-to-reach water. This setup allows the sheep to move safely through a planned rotation without compromising their welfare or the integrity of the solar site.
Sheep offer a quieter, cleaner, and more regenerative solution than traditional mowing. With Sunovis Ranch as your grazing partner, you get reliable service, healthier land, and fewer headaches.
