Photovoltaic panelscan provide artificial shades to protect livestock against intense solar radiation while serving as a clean energy source, reducing CO emission, and providing an additional source of income to farmers. These benefits foster sustainable livestock farming practices.
Sheep unconditionally preferred shade from solar panels over 80%-blockage cloth. Photovoltaic panels are a novel alternative to shade animals. Based on our search, we believe that this is the first paper to evaluate the use of photovoltaic panels as shade resources for livestock.
Shade under photovoltaic panels was compared to shade under cloth that has 80% blockage of solar radiation based on time spent under the shade by sheep and ewes. The animals spent more than 70% of their time under the shade from photovoltaic panels when solar radiation was wqual or greater than 800W m −2.
At the same time, the owner of the solar site may benefit from a decrease in costs related to land care. Solar panels installed in a pasture or near livestock facilities can provide necessary shade for livestock during summer months and help decrease body temperatures in the afternoons.
