Solar Power & Sheep weeding

Weeds are a threat to photovoltaic power generation.Weeds higher than photovoltaic modules can block sunlight, reduce power generation and affect their service life.

The traditional manual weeding mode of photovoltaic power plants has disadvantages: on the one hand, the labor cost is higher,on the other hand, the lawn mower working will cause pollution, and the splashing gravel will also damage the photovoltaic panels.

America

North Carolina is a photovoltaic hub that second-only to California, with more than 7,000 photovoltaic power plants generating more than 3,700 megawatts a year.A large number of top 500 enterprises, including Apple, IKEA, Corning, Dow Chemical, have gathered here, and have established large photovoltaic power plants."Sheep weeding" is relatively common in North Carolina.

Canada

Tamara Ford, founder of Ontario Herd Sheep (Goat Grazers Ontario), was the first to do small lawn mowing and managed a 91-acre (36.8 hectares) goat shelter.When she learned that there were a lot of photovoltaic plants around Kingston County, Ontario to remove weeds, she decided to set up a company to cultivate solar sheep (solar goats) to work in weeding solar plants.

In addition, the laying of photovoltaic panels has brought life to the desert area.

China

In Qinghai province,China.Local government vigorously promotes the development of the photovoltaic industry.Covering an area of 609 square kilometers,Talatan have become the largest photovoltaic power generation base in the world.

"The data shows that the laying of the photovoltaic panels has reduced the wind speed in the park by nearly 50 percent and reduced the evaporation by 30 percent.This is conducive to the recovery and growth of vegetation."Huan Xingsheng, deputy director of the production technology department of the Yellow River Photovoltaic Maintenance Inspection Co., LTD., said that the monthly panel cleaning water has a certain nourishing effect on the grassland, coupled with the shielding of the photovoltaic panels themselves, the soil water culvert capacity has been improved, and the former barren land has changed a new face.
