Why Sheep

At Premier Solar Sheep, we believe that sheep are the perfect solution for vegetation management at solar farms. These diverse foragers eat a wide variety of grasses, forbs, and woody plants, making them uniquely suited to managing vegetation in these environments. Their size allows them to navigate solar sites with minimal risk to infrastructure while effectively controlling significant amounts of vegetative growth.

The Power of Sheep
Like solar panels, sheep work year-round and are powered by renewable resources. The by-products of our sheep-focused vegetation management are not just ecological; they also contribute to the economy by providing high-quality food and fiber for American consumers. Properly managed grazing not only sustains grasslands but also promotes environmental health. Sheep target annual plants in their vegetative states, naturally fertilize the land with manure, and stimulate perennial grasses, enhancing ground cover.

Strategic Management
For sheep to be effective in vegetation management, they require strategic oversight. Having been domesticated for thousands of years, they need skilled shepherds to maintain their health and productivity. Without proper guidance and training, inexperienced handlers risk catastrophic failures such as predation, parasitism, overgrazing, and starvation. However, when managed correctly, sheep, combined with mowing and herbicide applications, deliver unparalleled vegetation management.
