Solar Microgrid #1 Project Page

Project Details:

Shark Garden & Sphere Solar are teaming up to put down two solar microgrids in Burien WA to showcase a world of renewable energy possibilities. The project doesn't only bring clean & renewable energy to the farmland, but the energy will be used to power, irrigations pumps, greenhouse fans, an agricultural robot called the Farmbot, two vertical grow towers, air to water generator, inflatable screens, and movie projects for outdoor movie nights in the garden. Overall we are energizing the land and empowering the land to become a resources hub for the community as well as generating electricity, food, and water on the land.

We have already obtained a match for this project from the Port of Seattle and King Conservation District totaling $18K. We are seeking to raised the rest of the funds to complete the project. The remaining funds will be utilized to obtain the solar panels, solar generators, and the labor of Sphere Solar Team so for the skilled labor of installing the full solar microgrids.

We invite you to help support this innovating green project and help us to bring this to our local Burien community. We hope this project and its outcome will help inspire other communities to create similar green spaces all over the world. Help us make this world a better, one garden at a time.
