Published:
Dominion Energy has introduced sheep to two solar farms in Southside, employing an eco-friendly method known as solar grazing. This approach uses sheep to manage grass and vegetation, replacing traditional lawnmowers.
The program, initiated in spring 2023, is now active in Pittsylvania and Halifax counties. It aligns with Dominion Energy’s efforts to integrate agricultural practices into their solar operations, alongside projects like beehive installations near Charlottesville.
