Source elevated racking and fencing-compatible mounting for solar grazing sites. Equipment built for livestock co-grazing on agrivoltaic land.
Sheep grazing is by far the most common livestock pairing on solar sites, and racking sourced here is checked against the clearance and row spacing that grazing operations actually need, rather than a generic ground-mount height.
Perimeter and cross-fencing hardware gets sourced alongside racking so the two systems are compatible from the start, instead of a fencing contractor working around a racking layout that wasn't built for it.
Cable routing and conduit height get specified with animal contact in mind, which is what keeps a wiring run from becoming a maintenance callback.
Racking and fencing get planned together so the layout doesn't need rework once grazing starts.
Conduit and cable routing account for animal contact before installation, not after a chewed line.
Sheep are the standard pairing because they graze vegetation close to the ground without the height or strength to damage modules, wiring, or racking the way cattle can. They keep the ground cover managed under and between rows, which reduces mowing costs and fire risk, and they fit comfortably under standard elevated arrays. Their size and behavior make them low-risk around the equipment, which is why most co-grazing programs start with sheep.
Clearance depends on the animal working the site, not a single fixed number. Sheep sites often run lower panel edges, while cattle require substantially more height to keep animals from rubbing against modules or reaching wiring. The right figure comes from the species, their behavior, and how the array is accessed for maintenance, so specify the racking around the actual livestock rather than a generic default.
Fencing and racking are usually separate line items, but they need to be planned together so mounting points, post spacing, and clearances are compatible from the start. Sourcing them as one coordinated package avoids a fencing retrofit after the array is set. Sunhub offers fencing-compatible mounting so the two systems are matched before installation rather than reconciled on site.
