Cattle pastures usually just mount the panels higher up, and put safety cages around service panels and electrical conduit.
The most I've seen with chickens is just a couple panels on the roof of the coop, or barn for industrial sized chicken processing. (I'm not going to call it farming, it's basically a factory)
I have always been puzzled about why raising chicks is farming instead of ranching.
But I was meaning damage to the supports if the livestock was allowed close enough to benefit from the shade. Although the risk with chickens is getting the panels dirty or damaging them.
