Sustainable Farming

solar installations can be used to enhance farming and it’s not just about the solar modules—it’s about the mutual benefits of co-locating solar with farming and agriculture. you might be surprised to learn that solar fields can be sites of thriving biodiversity, regenerative agriculture, and community bonding.

Clean Energy, Farming & Solar and Eco-Friendly Grazing

Experience

I started in Solar at the very Top 15 years ago. On the Top of a roof. Before that I met my significant other Story in my Late 20's and she grew up in a little town in Illinois on a big Farm with chickens, cattle, horses, sheep, goats, dogs, cats and other animals. We've always dreamed of having a farm and in 2025 Story and a friend Tonya started Clark & Caywood Farms. One thing is for sure, the wellbeing of our animals is top priority and our family insist on providing top notch care to our animals. We will offer animal grazing for large solar arrays but it has to work for the animals. The main farm is still being worked on and will offer horse drawn carriage rides by the end of the year and have a new solar installation.

Agrivoltaics Solutions, Less Pollution

Combining agriculture and clean energy for a harmonious future in farming and renewable energy production just fit together, Both crops and solar production can do better when paired together. Past site preparation for installing ground-mounted PV systems involved grading, compacting soil. fencing and sometimes using herbicides and that often lead to negative impacts on the soil health and water run off.

What we do is preserving native habitats and ecosystems and creating habitat for pollinators and other beneficial species while also producing clean power. Farm and Solar delivers solar solutions that ensure long-term savings, sustainability, and reduce energy expenses for agricultural operations.

Examples are;

Sheep, cows, or other grazing animals foraging underneath and/or in between solar panels

Agricultural production under or in between rows of solar panels.

Pollinator habitat, native grasses and vegetation, and naturalized beneficial vegetation

Livestock can maintain fields sustainably, improving soil, promoting beneficial vegetation and eliminating the need for pesticides, herbicides and heavy machinery. Farm and Solar Offers Array Mowing/(livestock grazing) with our healthy herds of super cute farm animals.

Innovative Sustainable Operations

Solar is teaming up with agriculture land use because the same attributes that make land appropriate for solar energy (flat areas and plentiful sun) are also attractive for agriculture use. Farmer, Ranchers and other agriculture enterprises gain value from solar technologies while keeping land available for agricultural purposes.

Eco-Friendly Grazing

2020 US agrivoltaic sites total 27,000 acres and 4.5 Gigawatts of solar power and by November 2024 it had more than doubled at 62,000 acres and 10 Gigawatts of solar energy. Agrivoltaics is proving to be a win-win for America. Utilizing our livestock herds we can graze and maintain your solar fields, promoting sustainability while generating clean energy.

Servicing large solar arrays up to 2MW. Experienced Service Technicians, Operations & Maintenance, and Preventative Maintenance Inspections available.

The panels are arranged systematically on green grass, surrounded by expansive fields with varying shades of brown and green. Patches of vegetation, possibly olive trees, are visible lining some of the fields. The area extends into the distance with rolling hills and scattered settlements.
