Why Glow Has a Token
David Vorick
Delivering clean energy
at scale to the places that
need it most
Impact
Glow has deployed more than $50 million across 3 continents
Farm Name
Radiant Plane
This is the first large scale solar farm to be crowd sourced on the Glow Launchpad. With the combined efforts of more than 90 people, this 1,000 solar panel behemoth was brought to life. Throughout its lifetime, it is expected to offset more than 10,000 tons of CO2, having as much CO2 impact as a forest more than 10 times its size.
Farm Name
Vero Beach
This is the very first solar installation ever commissioned for Glow. It was built to reduce the carbon footprint of a house and machine shop in Vero Beach, Florida. Thanks to the abundant sunlight of the Sunshine State, this solar installation is expected to reduce the lifetime carbon dioxide emissions of the property by more than 150 tons of CO2.
Farm Name
Berry Flats
This is the largest solar installation on the Glow protocol. At more than 40,000 panels and fully funded by institutional capital, this farm is reducing enough CO2 emissions in India to offset the carbon footprint of training multiple frontier AI models. It is estimated that this farm provides enough electricity to keep the lights on in more than 25,000 homes.
Farm Name
Grid Quarry
Located in the heart of Colorado, this solar installation is reducing emissions for one of the dirtiest energy grids in the United States. Though it looks small, the impact on the grid is substantial. Over its lifetime, this modest solar installation is expected to offset an equivalent amount of CO2 emissions to an entire rocket launch - that's more than 300 tons of CO2!
