Fun tidbit, Sheeps, wanting to hold up to their fame have made a number on engineers trying to get them to live with solar panels :
The solar panels are fixed in the ground by posts,and when one sheep decides he's goign to walk between two posts, every sheep in the pasture wants to do the same.
The whole herd trying to squeez in there puts such strain on the posts that it ended up bending them in early tests
In the end they had to strengthen the posts and space them out more.
With cows on the other hand, they are too smart and end up tinkering with any wiring left unatended and will hapily rip out cords off of your solar panels. Better keep your wiring clean !
Thats pretty nuts. What about goats?
Goats need a Screwdriver and will do the maintenance of the panels themselves
Goats will climb and chew on anything
For those, you mainly have to worry about them climbing on top of your panels and slipn sliding/jumping which, while cute, isn't really apreciated by solar panels ;P
