Laval, Québec, is the site of an ambitious business venture. Sollum's fully programmable lighting solution helps Vyckie Vaillancourt recreate Japan's sunlight cycle to grow exotic citrus trees on her family farm.
For companies like Ulysse Biotech, conducting robust research is the key to success. To test and develop their suite of organic biostimulants, they rely on Sollum's smart LED lighting solution to control variables with high precision and replicate a large variety of lighting conditions.
As the first growing season with Allegro Acres comes to a close, major successes, lessons learned, and next steps are reflected upon and big picture objectives related to sustainability and climate change are discussed.
The next chapter with Allegro Acres delves deeper into the science behind our technology and answers such questions as: How does manipulating light spectra affect growth? Why is programmability so important?
Sollum Technologies partners with Allegro Acres and the Harrow Research Institute to produce the first large-scale commercial greenhouse peppers during a Canadian winter.
