Power Plant

Power Plant

“Power plant” is the world’s first self-powering greenhouse. Through transparent solar glass it powers its indoor climate; harvesting both food and electricity.

Long Description

The world’s population is growing, and so is the demand for food. New technologies make farming more efficient, but require considerable amounts of energy. Every hour we receive enough sunlight to provide the world with enough electricity for an entire year. What if we could tackle both our world’s energy and food problems? What if we can harvest both electricity and food within one system using the power of the sun? Power Plant is the world’s first self-powering greenhouse. Through transparent solar glass it powers its indoor climate; harvesting both food and electricity to grow the plants of the future, using the power of design.
