"Researchers at Western University have released a comprehensive financial
study indicating that the co-location of sheep grazing and solar PV arrays, a
practice known as agrivoltaics, offers a robust solution to the tightening
profit margins of modern agriculture.
The study, published in
Applied Energy, suggests that these integrated
business models provide a hedge against market volatility, with performance
metrics consistently outstripping the broader agricultural industry’s average
EBITDA margin of 7.32%.
The research team, led by Joshua Pearce of Western University, modeled two
distinct operational strategies to determine their viability within the North
American energy and agriculture markets: a year-round “Breeding Model” and a
seasonal “Auction Model.”"
