It turns out that modern shepherds where baseball caps, drive pickup trucks, and are thriving in a new-era of high-tech entrepreneurship offering “sheep services”. Different Kinds Of Solar Jobs As solar costs have plummeted to the point that the International Energy Agency has concluded that solar energy is the cheapest source of electricity in all of human history suddenly hundreds of utilities and major companies are looking to put in solar farms. The most obvious place to do that is on a normal farm – with nice flat land already clear of trees. In the not so distant past, this caused a lot of land use conflict (e.g., no one wants solar panels displacing food crops and driving the cost of groceries up). To solve the problem scientists introduced the concept of agrivoltaics. Agrivoltaics combines agriculture with solar photovoltaic electricity production on the same land simultaneously. Agrivoltaics thus uses land far more efficiently than simple farming — it not only produces clean energy but also enhances agricultural output. This is counterintuitive, but agrivoltaics routinely yields more food than traditional farming methods. Two young lambs. Education Images/Universal Images Group via Getty Images Although agrivoltaics has been shown to increase crop yields of more than a dozen food crops, the most mature area of agrivoltaics is simply grazing sheep beneath solar panels. To do that you need someone to take manage the sheep grazing under solar panels – enter the solar shepherd. A recent study found…
