Revolutionizing Agriculture with Solar Integration
In the heart of Regional Australia, a renewable energy revolution is unfolding, yet many locals feel excluded from its benefits.
Tony Inder, a sixth-generation sheep farmer hailing from Wellington, NSW, has pioneered a groundbreaking approach that harmoniously combines large-scale solar energy with agriculture.
A Win-Win Solution
Under Tony’s innovative model, sheep now graze beneath solar panels, resulting in a symbiotic relationship that enhances the land, benefits the livestock, and boosts the local economy. His success story challenges the conventional belief that solar farms and traditional farming practices are incompatible, demonstrating the immense potential when communities actively engage in the transition towards sustainable energy sources.
