Agrivoltaics Virtual Fence Project

  • Grant Recipient: Grassworks Inc.
  • Amount: $24,193
  • Year: 2025
  • Watershed: Basinwide
  • Focus Area: Nutrient Management

This project would take place at MG&Es Tyto Solar project in Fitchburg, which utilizes a flock of sheep owned by nearby Wiscovery Farms for vegetation management. Using No Fence virtual collars will allow less labor intensive, but more ecologically protective grazing on site. The project will bolster research for improving water quality while enhancing agricultural activities, and also provide information to other utilities and farmers considering agrovoltaics.
