This solar array at the San Marcos Cafe and Feedstore south of Santa Fe on Hwy 14 (well known for their fabulous food) is the second large solar installment that our goats have worked.
In both cases they have proven to be very safe and effective in reducing the vegetation which will otherwise grow tall and interfere with accessing the panels for both maintenance people and importantly: sunlight...
Many installations across our nation are currently maintained either by hand pulling the weeds or with the all too common herbicide, Rodeo.
One being very labor intensive and the other being at odds with the "green" nature of solar, and with balanced life on earth.
Managed Goats and Sheep are a perfect match for photovoltaic arrays...
Mowers and weed whackers can be used but they must not throw rocks.
Also, much of the biggest and thickest vegetation often grows right up against the panels and the frame making mechanical removal there difficult to impossible...
...Goats enjoy working photovoltaic arrays...
