[Jay]

Have you thought of sheep?

Goats can be tough as they like to eat wire and climb on the panels. But if the modules are off the ground high enough might work.

My sense has been that O&M service providers generally gravitate toward gas mowers/trimmers with spot application of chemical herbicides. Does anyone have any experience with alternative methods, such as specialized seeding (e.g. pollinator-friendly), groundcover plants, goat herds, maybe even robotic GPS-guided mowers? I'm especially interested to hear from anyone who has analyzed the pros/cons of different methods or who can speak to any approaches that might be site-specific.
