Artificial lighting systems are holding back wide adoption of vertical farms due to 1) high energy costs, and 2) inability to fully replicate the sun spectrum.
It also affects greenhouses profitability, as they also depend on artificial lighting systems.miniSun is the most energy-efficient lighting system for the horticulture industry -50% reduction compared to existing technologies-, able to fully mimic the sun spectrum based on ground-breaking luminaires that combine proprietary LED and smart driver technologies with state-of-the-art sensors and AI/ML algorithms.
With miniSun, indoor farming becomes profitable for a variety of crops -e.g. cucumber, berries, tomato, pepper-, making it possible to grow them in vertical farms for the very first time.Our circular business model -low CAPEX/OPEX, recurring revenues over time- will enable rapid growth.
Our vision is to become a world leader in the horticulture LED lighting market, addressing a 10% of the market share by 2030.
