We develop comprehensive, site-specific grazing plans that help solar developers successfully integrate managed sheep grazing into utility-scale solar projects.
Whether you need a high-level conceptual plan for permitting or a detailed blueprint for implementation, our plans are tailored to meet both regulatory and operational needs. We make grazing a credible and compelling component of your project—supporting decision-making across permitting, design, and long-term O&M.
A detailed, site-specific report tailored to your grazing strategy, project objectives, and land use goals. Designed to strengthen credibility for permitting processes and secure internal stakeholder buy-in.
We divide the solar site into well-sized grazing areas (paddocks) to support effective rotational grazing, promoting pasture recovery and consistent vegetation control across the entire array.
We provide detailed drawings of recommended water layouts, including piping routes and strategically placed access points to ensure reliable, efficient water delivery throughout the grazing system.
We develop practical grazing circuits that guide sheep from one paddock to the next in a manageable rotation. While the concept is simple, we account for real-world challenges—like roads, fences, or other barriers—to ensure the plan works safely and efficiently on your specific site.
We provide cost estimates for the infrastructure required to implement the grazing plan, helping you understand upfront investments and budget accurately for fencing, water systems, handling facilities, and more.
Enhances public perception and supports ESG goals
Supports regenerative land use beneath panels, improving soil health
Cost-effective vegetation management compared to mechanical mowing
Solar developers, asset managers, and EPC firms seeking scalable, compliant, and sustainable grazing solutions for utility-scale solar installations.
Solar grazing is the use of sheep to manage vegetation under and around solar panels. Instead of mowing or applying herbicides, flocks of sheep graze across the site, maintaining vegetation at safe levels while promoting soil health. Sheep are ideal for these environments because they can navigate around equipment without causing damage.
We can help connect you with experienced grazing operators in your region or advise on how to establish partnerships. The grazing plan includes everything a shepherd would need to implement the strategy effectively, making your site attractive and accessible to qualified graziers.
Yes. Our plans are designed with flexibility in mind—sections can be pulled out and shared with permitting agencies, partners, or internal teams. The format and content make it easy to demonstrate your vegetation management approach, environmental strategy, and commitment to regenerative practices.
