Greener sheep: Life cycle analysis of integrated sheep agrivoltaic systems

•Life cycle assessment of pasture-based agrivoltaic system (emissions & ecotoxicity).•Comparison between 4 scenarios show agrivoltaics is superior to conventional practice.•CO₂ emissions and ecotoxicity quantified for sheep-based agrivoltaic system.•Integrated production results in 3.9% less emissions and 0.5% less energy demand.•Agrivoltaics vastly environmentally superior to grid-based electrical production in the US.
