Services
From Vegetation Management Services to Agrivoltaic Consultation, we’ve got you covered.
Vegetation Management
Our solar grazing vegetation management services involve the use of sheep to control vegetation and maintain the area beneath solar panels. These services provide an eco-friendly and sustainable solution for managing vegetation in solar farms. Our noble sheep graze on the vegetation, helping to prevent the growth of tall grasses and weeds, and reduce the need for mechanical mowing or herbicides.
Our approach offers several benefits, including:
Environmental Sustainability: Solar grazing is an environmentally friendly method that avoids the use of herbicides and minimizes the carbon footprint associated with traditional vegetation management.
Cost-Effective: Using grazing animals for vegetation control can be cost-effective compared to alternative methods, such as manual labor or the use of machinery.
Biodiversity: Grazing animals contribute to biodiversity by creating diverse habitats beneath the solar panels. This can support local ecosystems and enhance soil health.
Renewable Energy Synergy: Solar grazing allows for the dual use of land for both renewable energy production and agricultural purposes (also known as agrivoltaics), promoting a more sustainable and integrated approach, while opening the door to access to for competitive financing opportunities.
Reduced Fire Risk: Keeping vegetation low through grazing can help reduce the risk of wildfires, a crucial consideration in areas prone to such incidents.
Agrivoltaic Consulting
Our Agrivoltaic consulting services involve providing expert guidance and support for the integration of agriculture and solar energy production. This multidisciplinary approach aims to optimize land use, enhance agricultural productivity, and promote sustainable energy generation simultaneously. Agrivoltaic consulting services include:
Site Assessment: Conducting thorough assessments of the site to determine its suitability for agrivoltaic systems. This involves considering factors such as soil quality, climate, and crop selection.
System Design: Collaborating with engineers and solar experts to design integrated systems that combine solar panels with agricultural activities. Consultants ensure that the layout maximizes energy production and supports the growth of crops.
Crop Selection and Management: Advising on the selection of crops that can thrive in the shade of solar panels and providing guidance on optimized planting and harvesting schedules.
Efficiency Optimization: Implementing strategies to enhance overall efficiency, including irrigation management, pest control, and soil health maintenance to create a symbiotic relationship between agriculture and solar energy.
Regulatory Compliance: Assisting clients in navigating and complying with relevant regulations and permits for agrivoltaic projects.
Financial Analysis: Conducting cost-benefit analyses to assess the economic viability of agrivoltaic systems and providing recommendations for financial optimization.
Community Engagement: Facilitating communication with local communities and stakeholders to address concerns, promote understanding, and build support for agrivoltaic projects.
Monitoring and Maintenance: Establishing monitoring systems to track the performance of both the solar and agricultural components, along with providing ongoing maintenance recommendations.
