Photovoltaic plant for self-consumption for micro vegetables.
Description
Microgreens is a Portuguese company that specializes in the production and sale of microgreens of vegetables or aromatic herbs and edible flowers.
The funds raised through this campaign will be used to install a solar photovoltaic production unit for self-consumption at the facilities, as well as batteries for energy storage. The project includes installing 60 modules with a total power of 32.7kWp, which will reduce the electricity bill and avoid the emission of CO2.
The installation of the solar panels will be done by Renergy.
The Impact
Direct
- Contributing to the decarbonization of the economy, by avoiding the emission of CO2: with an estimated clean energy production of almost 55 MWh annually, the solar plant will help avoid the emission of around 7,5 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to planting 341 trees.
- Cost reduction for the final client: the decentralized energy production through renewable sources, close to the consumption site, helps to avoid distribution costs, making this a more competitive option than reverting to the national grid. Furthermore, the decreased dependency of the organisation on the national grid, makes it less vulnerable to price fluctuations and fiscal charges.

The Promoter
About MICROGREENS, UNIPESSOAL LDA
Microgreens bring us Edible Flowers and Micro Vegetables. The concept was first created for a university project. The company was officially created in 2015, specializing in the production and sale of microgreens (micro vegetables or herbs) and edible flowers.
All products are harvested by hand, at the peak of their freshness and according to the orders to ensure they do not lose quality and flavour. Orders are prepared by picking each flower or leaf ordered. These are delivered to the client within 24 hours.
Microgreens produce micro-vegetables and flowers in the protected environment of greenhouses, where they find the right conditions to develop in a healthy, robust and tasty way. The promoter controls the entire process of production and preparation for the final client, from seeds, growing and harvesting to packaging.
Motivation and dedication are part of everyday life at Microgreens, which aims to offer an excellent product adapted to a cosmopolitan lifestyle. The company actively seeks to innovate, create original concepts, increase the product portfolio, and differentiate the brand.
To date, the promoter supplies about 600 restaurants in the Iberian Peninsula, 40 of which have 1, 2 or 3 Michelin stars.
