In 2018, a Vermont couple started with 30 sheep; seven years later, their solar-grazing business had 500 sheep managing vegetation across 1,500 acres of solar sites in the Northeast
What started in 2018 as a small trial with just 30 sheep has grown into a commercial operation that now manages vegetation around thousands of solar panels across the American Northeast. Husband-and-wife farmers Lewis Fox and Niko Kochendoerfer founded Agrivoltaic Solutions LLC in Vermont. They developed a model that uses livestock instead of mechanical mowers to control grass and weeds around solar energy sites. According to a case study published by the American Solar Grazing Association, the couple's business has grown from its first flock of 30 sheep to 500 sheep managing vegetation across 1,500 acres of solar sites.

Opportunity to transform the quality of indoor air. The figure illustrates how indoor environments can transition from passive spaces to active
protectors of respiratory health through integrated sensing of airborne pollutants, pathogens, and allergens; occupant feedback; and automated responses to improve IAQ. These capabilities could also provide high-resolution environmental data that can deepen our understanding of the pathobiology and adverse health effects of poor IAQ on pulmonary, cardiovascular, neurocognitive, and metabolic disorders across the lifespan.
