Overview
What Solar Cannabis Co. does: It runs America’s first energy-independent cannabis cultivation and retail facility, located in Somerset, MA, and is the state’s premier adult-use cannabis supplier. How its product works: The facility uses green infrastructure and microgrid assets to generate all of its own clean power, reducing overall energy use and carbon emissions, with its production architecture built around these systems to grow and process sustainable cannabis. How it is different from competitors: It combines on-site power generation and green infrastructure to achieve energy independence, lowering its carbon footprint, and integrates cultivation and retail in a single, purpose-built facility—unlike typical facilities that buy energy from external grids. What its goal is: To supply cannabis in a sustainable way by achieving energy self-sufficiency and minimizing environmental impact.
