Programs like Geneva Peeps are working to combine farms and solar panels and Geneva Peeps is a community egg cooperative. Forty families in a New York community work together and care for the chickens. These birds live under solar panels that use sunlight and turn it into electricity. They also serve as protection from sun, rain, and hawks. This is a new idea that combines farming and solar power. They can raise crops or livestock and produce electricity from sunlight at the same time. Animals can help solar panel fields sine their manure helps the soil. However, it doesn't work as well with some animals like goats since they could chew up the wires. Also, some farmers are planting crops near them since it can help the plants got more fruits. Well, that is it for his article and I hope you learned something new.
