S-lab, arboretum, currently operates two unique, power-generating greenhouses near the “New Zealand” region of the UCSC arboretum. These microgrids provide power to projects and are living test beds for simultaneous renewable power generation and enhanced plant growth. Several student projects and experiments are based here, including Off-the-Grid Aquaponics, Rainwater Catchment, and Smart Housing.
