Why Better Lighting Planning Matters

A productive lighting project starts with the crop and greenhouse—not a fixed number of fixtures.

Changing Sunlight

Location, season, glazing and weather change the natural light available to your crops.

Consistent Coverage

Average PPFD alone can hide weak edges and hotspots. Evaluate minimum light and uniformity.

Right-Sized Investment

Crop targets, mounting height, layout and controls determine the equipment your project really needs.

Integrated Greenhouse Lighting Solution

Fixtures, controls and engineering are specified together to support a more coherent project proposal.

SOLIFY Greenhouse LED Fixtures

Select UNI, PRO or MAX based on output requirements, greenhouse geometry and installation constraints.

  • Greenhouse supplemental light
  • Project-specific fixture selection

Outdoor daylight decreases as the PAR detector sends data through the host and HarveStation to the dimming controller, increasing supplemental light by greenhouse zone.

HARVESTATION Smart Control

DLI-oriented dimming and zone planning can respond to available sunlight and crop operating schedules.

  • PAR sensing and zone-level control
  • Up to 40 zones / 300 fixtures per zone

Higher minimum PPFD and better Min/Avg uniformity without more fixtures.
Engineering comparison: Option 2 increases the minimum PPFD by 6.2% and Min/Avg uniformity from 0.54 to 0.60, while average PPFD decreases by about 5%. Final acceptance depends on the agreed measurement plane, grid and target definition.

Our 7-Step Design Method

A transparent path from growing goals to a reviewable, project-specific lighting proposal.

01

Define the Crop Target

Crop type, growth stage, production and quality goals.

02

Establish Target DLI

Determine a defensible crop-level daily light target.

03

Assess Natural Sunlight

Review season, geography, covering and shading.

04

Calculate the Light Gap

Estimate the daily supplemental DLI needed.

05

Define Supplemental PPFD

Match the light gap to a feasible operating window.

06

Optimize Layout & Uniformity

Compare mounting height, spacing and canopy PPFD.

07

Plan Controls & Proposal

Define zones, dimming, product selection and BOM.
