Solar companies have figured out how to mix sheep grazing and power production. This company is about to make a push to do it with cows, with huge growth potential.
Numbers vary btwn species and individuals, but plants can only use so much light at once. Many can even sunburn! Then the plant has to metabolize all that!
So grass growing at even 60% efficiency under a solar field running at even 60% efficiency isn’t a terrible use of land, and given the diminishing returns for tightly packed shit, you’re much more likely to get something like 100/80, which is an amazing use of land.
Not as good as growing berries or basil or something under solar panels, but still pretty good.
High quality pasture isn’t just grass. It’s a mixture of grasses and legumes such as clover and alfalfa. The pasture should be slow to bolt and mature at different times throughout the season, providing the cattle with a good forage regardless of the temperatures.
I’m aware of plants getting sunburn. I’ve seen it first hand as a gardener bringing seeds started indoors outside.

White cars dont heat up as much as black ones in the hot sun!
