Wow! How did they even?? 😯 The weather conditions must've been perfect, but nevertheless, that's seriously impressive. There's no way my ID.Buzz (with a larger battery) would get anywhere near that range on a single charge.

What’s not to like?
“The solar arrays provide critical shelter during extreme weather events, protecting sheep from both intense heat and adverse weather conditions. This protection creates a more stable environment for the animals throughout seasonal variations. The panels’ shade effect helps retain soil moisture, which promotes healthier grass growth and more nutritious forage for the grazing animals.
Interestingly, researchers noted reduced parasite presence in the solar grazing areas, contributing to improved overall animal health. This unexpected benefit appears to stem from altered ground conditions beneath the panels, creating an environment less hospitable to common sheep parasites.”
Come on Aussie graziers, get on board. Not just for the sake of your animals, but think about free electricity and extra income year round… You’d have to be mad not to consider it.
