While the practice of coupling solar arrays with meadows is common in
Europe, it's relatively new in the United States, where solar was
pioneered via desert megaprojects in California and Nevada. Newer
projects in the Midwest and elsewhere need to take farm communities
into account.

In Europe, sheep can graze under solar panels, to save the expense of
mowing the grass.
