In China's Qinghai Province, something remarkable is happening: a once-arid desert is turning green. Thanks to an innovative combination of solar panels and grazing sheep, vegetation is thriving and the land is coming back to life.

The solar panels shield the soil and provide shade, while the sheep naturally keep the grass trimmed and healthy. This smart approach – known as livestock–photovoltaic complementarity – not only generates clean energy and reduces costs but also supports local communities.
