When a 500-acre solar farm was being built at our family farm, we initially had several concerns. It turned out that our concerns about erosion/runoff control, fire risk and the aesthetics of vegetation beneath the panels were all common concerns held by solar site operators.

As third generation ranchers with degrees in Environmental Science and Biology, we developed methods that addressed these concerns and kept our family land agriculturally productive. By implementing a flexible system that utilizes agrivoltaics with sheep grazing, we have been able to do just that.

Strategic rotational grazing allows us to significantly reduce or even eliminate the need for mowing solar sites. The wide variety of benefits that solar grazing provides allowed us to offer a superior service at a more economical price for solar operators and O&M teams. We look forward to the chance of partnering with you in the future!

Sincerely,

-The Reams Brothers
