Customer challenge

When Truly Green Farms completed the final phase of its greenhouse development, the vision was to enable reliable winter tomato production and support year‑round supply. The challenge was to increase light availability during low‑light winter months without adding excess heat, operational complexity, or risk. The operation required a lighting approach that could support consistent crop performance while integrating with existing climate and energy strategies.
