In a 2022 Brazil trial, 52 lambs spent 60 days under solar-panel shade; researchers reported lower body temperatures and about 4% better feed efficiency on hotter days

A comprehensive study conducted in Brazil revealed that lambs grazing beneath solar panels experienced reduced body temperatures, which led to enhanced feed efficiency and notable weight gain. Further research by Oregon State University confirmed these encouraging trends in lamb growth. The practice termed solar grazing is gaining traction nationwide, showcasing how merging animal welfare with solar farm designs can yield positive results amid rising temperatures.
