This webinar series is about cattle and sheep solar grazing and growing forages or grain crops under solar panels.

The practice of grazing livestock under solar panels has become increasingly popular. It is often referred to as "agrivoltaics" or "solar grazing." This system involves the use of land for both solar energy production and livestock grazing or crop production.
