Solar Ranch with Cattle Grazing in Christiana, Tennessee

under construction

A 40-acre solar farm in Christiana, Tennessee, owned by Silicon Ranch, integrates cattle grazing beneath solar panels. The project aims to demonstrate that larger cattle can thrive at solar sites, combining renewable energy generation with agricultural use. The solar panels are adjusted to allow cattle to graze safely, generating about 5 megawatts of electricity for Middle Tennessee Electric, a rural electric co-op. The project seeks to promote agrivoltaics as a sustainable land use that benefits farmers and supports energy demand.
