American Solar Grazing Association Conducts Census
May 27, 2025
The American Solar Grazing Association recently published the results of its first-ever U.S. Solar Grazing Census.
There were 129,000 acres of solar grazed by more than 113,000 sheep in 2024 according to the survey. These numbers were reported from 500 sites and 33 states. There were clear regional variations, with the South region exceeding the Midwest, Northeast and West in both sheep numbers and acres engaged in solar grazing. Sheep grazing was commonly utilized on utility-scale solar sites and smaller community and distributed generation facilities, as well as fixed and tracking style solar arrays.
ASGA also learned valuable perspectives of solar grazers, including motivations, challenges and benefits in the industry. Within the report, readers will learn demographic information of solar grazers, and how they manage their sites.
The information gained from the Solar Grazing Census was collected from 127 respondents, with 65 of those reported as active solar grazers who answered as themselves, or on behalf of their business.
