Running Beaver LLC

Vegetation Management Solutions for Utility-Scale Solar and Large Acreage Land

Running Beaver LLC is a Texas-based vegetation management company specializing in large-scale land maintenance and vegetation control for renewable energy infrastructure.

Our company was built to support utility-scale solar developments and large acreage properties that require consistent, reliable vegetation management to maintain safe operations and long-term infrastructure performance.

Operating throughout Texas, Running Beaver provides vegetation management services designed specifically for solar facilities, energy infrastructure, and large land management projects.

Our crews operate commercial-grade equipment capable of maintaining large solar installations efficiently while protecting panel infrastructure, wiring systems, and site access areas.

Solar Vegetation Management Solutions

Reliable Vegetation Control for Solar Facilities

Utility-scale solar installations require consistent vegetation management to ensure:

• Safe facility operations
• Maximum solar production
• Infrastructure protection
• Compliance with maintenance requirements

Running Beaver provides vegetation management services designed specifically for the operational needs of large solar installations.

Our team understands the unique challenges solar facilities face, including:

• Tight panel spacing
• Electrical infrastructure and wiring systems
• Large acreage maintenance requirements
• Fire risk from unmanaged vegetation
• Drainage and erosion control considerations

Our operations are structured to maintain vegetation across large solar installations while operating safely around sensitive infrastructure.

Vegetation Services for Solar Farms

Utility-Scale Solar Mowing

Running Beaver operates high-capacity commercial mowing equipment designed for large-acreage solar sites.

Our mowing services include:

• Under-panel mowing
• Row maintenance between solar arrays
• Large acreage mowing
• Access road and perimeter mowing
• Seasonal vegetation control

This equipment allows our crews to maintain large solar installations efficiently while minimizing soil disturbance.

Drone Herbicide Application

Running Beaver utilizes drone-based herbicide application technology for targeted vegetation control.

Drone spraying allows precise vegetation treatment in areas that are difficult to access using traditional equipment.

Benefits include:

• Targeted weed control
• Reduced chemical usage
• Access to difficult terrain
• Faster treatment of large solar sites

Drone application is particularly effective for panel rows, fence lines, drainage areas, and infrastructure corridors.

Integrated Sheep Grazing Programs

Many solar operators are adopting sustainable vegetation management solutions, including controlled sheep grazing within solar installations.

Running Beaver supports integrated grazing programs that work alongside mowing and vegetation control strategies.

Benefits of sheep grazing include:

• Reduced mowing frequency
• Sustainable vegetation management
• Lower long-term maintenance costs
• Improved soil health

These programs are designed to complement mechanical vegetation management while maintaining vegetation at appropriate levels throughout the growing season.

Solar Vegetation Cost Reduction Strategies

Vegetation management is one of the largest long-term operational expenses for solar facilities.

Running Beaver works with solar operators to implement strategies that reduce maintenance costs while maintaining proper vegetation control.

These strategies include:

Hybrid Vegetation Programs

Combining:

• mechanical mowing
• drone herbicide treatment
• targeted vegetation control
• integrated grazing

This hybrid approach reduces mowing frequency and improves long-term vegetation stability.

Precision Herbicide Application

Drone spraying allows precise targeting of invasive vegetation while minimizing chemical usage and labor costs.

This reduces:

• repeat mowing cycles
• weed reinfestation
• overall vegetation management costs.

Equipment Optimization

Running Beaver operates equipment designed for large acreage efficiency, allowing solar facilities to be maintained faster and more consistently.

This improves:

• operational efficiency
• vegetation control consistency
• overall maintenance reliability.

Experience in Renewable Energy Infrastructure

Running Beaver has experience working alongside major renewable energy operators including:

• Enel Green Power

• Enbridge

This experience has provided our team with an understanding of the operational requirements associated with utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure and solar facility maintenance.
