In the right places, this can be incredibly reliable income if you're renting your land for 30+ years, and doesn't necessarily preclude certain types of farming on the same land. Sheep are very compatible with solar installations since they will naturally graze on vegetation that can affect the panels. Goats however are not compatible since they will eat electrical cables and jump on the panels!
