Solar Shepherd manages sheep flocks to maintain vegetation on solar sites. We make solar site vegetation management easier and greener. We help make your sites aesthetically pleasing in a way that engages communities. We are an intelligent co-agricultural use designed specifically to meet the needs of solar sites.
Founded in Spring 2018, Solar Shepherd is dedicated to providing green solutions for managing vegetation. We believe in green energy, and we partner with companies to maintain vegetation under and around ground mounted photo-voltaic arrays. We raise sheep on solar farms and keep vegetation from interfering with energy generation. Sheep are a greener alternative solution than mowing, string trimming, or herbicides. Sheep reduce downtime risk by eliminating the need to run mechanical mowing equipment down panel rows or under tables.
We’re committed to the belief that organic agriculture benefits communities small and large by bringing pastoral beauty to the land, and connecting people more closely with their environment. Through prescribed grazing, we can further benefit communities by reducing their reliance on fossil fuels and herbicides while providing our animals with healthy, nutritious feeds and a wholesome, pasture-based existence.
In addition to solar farms, we work with homeowners, businesses and other farmers to address vegetation needs. That overgrown lot, untended paddock, or poison ivy patch looks like a bountiful salad bar to our sheep and lambs. They enjoy their work immensely. Our sheep can help you maintain your property, expand enjoyment of your yard, or assist in demonstrating your company’s commitment to innovation and environmentally friendly solutions.
