"The flock prevents aggressive weeds from taking over the more delicate wildflowers by grazing on a variety of plant species.

This is timed for the winter months so that ground-nesting species are not disturbed and flowering plants needed for insect life in spring and summer are not consumed.

The also provide natural fertilization..............Westmill’s panels have a higher ground clearance and reinforced mounting structures to accommodate the sheep...............The sheep discovered that the solar arrays provide protection from wind and rain, leading to the flock’s improved weight gain and health."

Early passive house https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16m1vBKhHv/

In 1948, scientist Mária Telkes, known as “The Sun Queen,” built a revolutionary home in Massachusetts that stayed warm through freezing winters using only sunlight and salt—no gas, no electricity. Partnering with architect Eleanor Raymond, she developed the Dover Sun House, which stored solar energy in Glauber’s salt (sodium sulfate), a phase-change material that captured and slowly released heat. It was one of the world’s first passive solar-heated homes—and it worked, even on cloudy days.

But this wasn’t just about tech—it was about freedom. Telkes believed energy innovation should serve people, especially women burdened by smoke-filled kitchens and unreliable heating. She went on to invent solar ovens, desalination kits, and off-grid systems that empowered communities worldwide. With over 20 patents and a legacy that reshaped green technology, she proved that clean energy isn't just a future goal—it’s been possible for decades.
