From rotating grazing animals between solar panel rows to hosting pollinator-friendly apiaries, these practices show that clean energy and farming don’t have to compete for space—they can thrive together.

“One of the common issues is that we’ve taken this land and we’ve made it into a solar farm, and it’s now not usable for anything else. We’re showing that there’s a difference here,” said Heuscher.

“This is the way of the future. I think this is a partnership that all solar providers should be looking at doing.”
