Why Volkswagen has ‘hired’ 100 sheep to work at its plant in Poland

Volkswagen has replaced mechanical lawnmowers with 100 sheep at its Poznań solar farm in Poland, where the flock grazes beneath 31,000 panels powering the plant. Built by Quanta Energy, the 18.3 MW installation supplies 25% of the factory’s annual electricity. The agrivoltaics project, run with Poznań University of Life Sciences, studies how grazing affects biodiversity, soil, and animal welfare—proving industry and nature can coexist.
