Fifth Season and Scale Microgrid Solutions Announce Event with Clean Energy for America

BRADDOCK, Pa.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Fifth Season and Scale Microgrid Solutions are hosting a breakfast event on Wednesday, September 21, 2022 during the Global Clean Action Forum Week.

Fifth Season - based in Pittsburgh - is one of the key players in the growing vertical farming space. Their 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 conventional 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.
