Tower Farm water & electricity consumption
3.8 liters of water
per day
Water consumption
On average, a tower consumes 3.8 liters of water per day. At Cultive, we have chosen to supply our Tower Farm with water from a rainwater harvesting system stored in a concrete tank.
Electricity consumption
Each tower is equipped with a 50W pump. The pump operates for 3 minutes every 12 minutes, 24/7, totaling 4.8 hours per day. The total power consumption per tower per day is 240 watts, equivalent to 0.24 kWh/day.
The current price of kWh in France is 0.2062€, so the cost of one tower per day is 0.05€, or 1.5€ per month.
At Cultive, we have chosen to power our Tower Farm with solar panels. Our 2 solar panels provide an average of 2 to 3 kWh per day.
