The Kiosk is powered by 13.8 kW of solar power and is designed to support a variety of rural businesses including grocery, freezers, poultry incubator, grinder, welder, and hammer mill. KWH sponsored a Seattle University undergraduate design project. KWH paid a sponsorship fee and provided a volunteer to mentor four computer science students at Seattle University.
