Its innovative CattleTracker system aims to merge solar power production with cattle grazing across the United States, offering an eco-friendly and economically viable land use model.
An Oregon Angus ranch is hosting a 120-kW agrivoltaics project using high-clearance solar trackers designed to allow full cattle grazing.
With a few structural adjustments—such as elevated and more widely spaced solar panels—cattle can effectively graze beneath solar panels, bringing environmental and economic benefits to farmers and their
CattleTracker is Silicon Ranch''s patented Integrated Photovoltaic (PV) Solar System Design and Management Platform for the co-optimization of cattle-grazing and PV solar generation while measuring the impacts of
This investment in on-site solar energy has inspired studies of the benefits of on-farm solar beyond power generation, including providing cattle with a cool resting place as they graze, and research evaluating the
WVU researchers recently received $1.6 million from the U.S. Department of Energy to incorporate solar panels onto cattle farms that could aid in solar energy production and sustainable farming.
Huwa Enterprises, based in Keenesburg, Colorado, is taking a unique approach by combining solar panels with cattle grazing. The new approach to dual-use solar is being called “cattle voltaics.”
Combining solar power generation and cattle grazing maximizes land productivity and reduces tension between renewable energy and agriculture. According to Silicon Ranch CTO Nick de Vries, the
The rate of solar power generation is increasing globally at a significant increase in the net electricity demand, leading to competition for agricultural lands and forest invasion.
Using a ground-mounted PV system in a dairy setting could provide shade to dairy cows during extreme heat events and provide farmers with an alternative means of income.
