Solar energy projects on the Tibetan Plateau have made it possible to graze sheep inside some complexes and increased herders’ incomes. One herder said his annual income had risen eightfold, to about 80,000 yuan, while 6,330 households benefited from grazing sites in the Hainan region. Some solar farms rely on sheep to control grass growth around the panels, as part of China’s plans to increase solar and wind power capacity by 53% over five years. But the projects divide up open pastureland and reduce the areas available for grazing, with goats and yaks excluded in some cases. Researchers have also reported that noise from the facilities disturbs people and animals, raising concerns about livelihoods and pastoral traditions.
