The Details

Fifth Season - based in Pittsburgh - is one of the key players in the growing vertical farming space. The indoor farm uses 97% less land and 95% less water than traditional farming, and the advanced AI robotics that operate the farm are bringing costs in line with traditional crops.

In order to create an optimal indoor farming environment, Fifth Season needs to ensure affordable, clean and reliable power.

The microgrid at Fifth Season utilizes a combination of solar, battery, and a dispatchable generator outfitted with advanced emissions control technology.

The solar panels used on this project have a peel and stick application that doesn't require a frame or mounting equipment. This unique technical feature makes for extremely light construction by eliminating the need to make structural changes to existing roofs.

This type of advanced technology could revolutionize the future use of older manufacturing towns like Pittsburgh.

In addition to reducing the facility’s GHG emissions footprint by the equivalent of 39 passenger vehicles driven in a year, the system operates in various ancillary services to the electric grid to help save them money, and also ensures mission critical operations can continue during utility outages.
