📰 Sheep Are Helping Volkswagen Turn a Solar Farm into a Living Ecosystem 🐑 Poland: A flock of 100 sheep now grazes beneath 31,000 solar panels at VW’s Poznań plant, replacing mechanical mowing while improving soil, vegetation, and habitat quality. 🔆 The project is a large‑scale agrivoltaics experiment, pairing renewable energy with agriculture to boost biodiversity, reduce heat stress, and create cooler microclimates under the panels. 🤝 Researchers are tracking animal welfare, soil health, vegetation shifts, and insect habitat, showing how industrial solar sites can double as ecological corridors when managed thoughtfully. 🔗 https://electrek.co/2026/07/08/volkswagen-put-100-sheep-to-work-under-31000-solar-panels/ #SolarPunkSunday #Rewilding #Agrivoltaics #LandscapeEcology #RenewableEnergy #Biodiversity #SoilHealth #PollinatorHabitat #Sustainability #HabitatRestoration
