In the photo it looks like the lines are routed through the mounting poles and then buried. Hopefully that will prevent any munching.
Comment on Can Cows and Solar Power Coexist? We’re About to Find Out

As I understand it, the reason sheep are so good is that they don’t graze up, so they’re unlikely to try munching on any power cords (unlike goats). I don’t know enough about cows to say definitively, but my guess is that you’re going to need the solar panels up high enough for them to be comfortable, and also sturdy enough that a leaning cow won’t knock them over. So it may work but the additional considerations could prove more expensive.

I can’t see how big this installation is, but if they dotted an occasional cow brush every 100m or something they could probably largely minimise rubbing on infrastructure poles too. Cows are not interested in smooth metal poles as much as anything with some texture to it.
