Employing proprietary design and material innovation, JuiceBOX is made up of four major components: an up-cycled 20 ft x 8 ft shipping container housing a climate controlled work/storage space, a proprietary solar rack capable of producing up to 7 kW of solar power, a self contained battery end-cap with 5 days of battery backup, and a fully integrated renewable power management system.

Adding to this structure of the Juicebox, Metalab was commissioned by Helical to create a revolutionary hydroponic greenhouse that includes water filtration, solar power, and communication capabilities. This working classroom in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley is equipped to prepare veterans for the future of farming.
