Electricity usage in the Greenery S is necessary to power different systems like lighting, pumps, fans, and environmental controls, among others. The variation in electricity usage depends on factors such as crop types, inside humidity levels, and the outside climate. It is essential to optimize the controllable factors to ensure the lowest possible energy use.

The Greenery S offers three pre-set LED power modes that operators can select depending on their growing objectives. Each mode has a range of electricity usage and an impact on yield output.

Eco Mode
Optimized for efficiency
Average energy usage 151–246 kWh per day

Standard Mode
A balance between efficiency and power
Average energy usage 171–268 kWh per day

Performance Mode
Optimized for power and yield
Average energy usage 191–350 kWh per day

Electrical Requirements for The Greenery™ S

On the day of delivery, you will need to hire a qualified electrician to connect your farm to a 150 amp, 240V split-phase power supply. A parts list is also available for those interested in converting to 3-phase power. Once your farm site is determined, consult with a local electrician to discuss rates and any additional work that may be necessary to upgrade your existing electrical service.

Data Requirements for The Greenery™ S

The Greenery™ S requires a monthly data usage of 5GB for complete programming and control. To ensure optimal performance, consult your local internet service provider for WiFi or hotspot setup. If a hotspot is not supported in your area, consider hardwiring your connection for reliable access.

Freight Farms Cost Breakdown

Container Farm Cost: A new Greenery™ costs between $165,000 and $169,000 USD, depending on the model and electrical specifications for your specific location.

Electrical specifications of the Greenery vary depending on voltages and frequencies of the country: 60 Hz: 240V split-phase, single 150A connection
