Solar vegetation management and agrivoltaics services across Ohio.
Ohio's utility-scale solar boom comes with strict siting board requirements. KerTec builds hybrid vegetation management and grazing programs designed to meet OPSB standards while keeping sites productive year-round.
Regional Context
Ohio's solar boom comes with a strict compliance bar.
01
OPSB Compliance Requirements
The Ohio Power Siting Board sets specific vegetation height and reporting standards that utility-scale solar sites must meet and document continuously.
02
Seasonal Growth Surges
Ohio's wet springs and warm summers drive fast vegetation growth, requiring responsive mowing, grazing, and spraying schedules.
03
Large, Distributed Solar Sites
Utility-scale arrays spanning hundreds of acres need vegetation programs that scale without sacrificing consistency.
What We Offer
Services available across Ohio.
We draw on the same services used across every KerTec project, applied to the specific
demands of the field:
01
Agrivoltaic Grazing Programs
Managed sheep grazing designed around array geometry and OPSB vegetation thresholds.
02
Array-Safe Custom Mowing
Low-clearance mowing equipment built for solar row spacing and racking systems.
03
Targeted Chemistries & Drone Spraying
Precision spraying for non-desirable species control in constrained array corridors.
