Soliculture, Inc. specializes in combining solar power generation with crop production in greenhouses or open fields. Anchored in technology developed in the Thin-Film Optoelectronics Laboratory of physics professor Sue Carter, the firm offers Lumo, power-generating greenhouse panel that absorbs green light and emits red light, enhancing power production of the solar cells, as well as plant growth. Soliculture began conducting plant trails with its semitransparent greenhouse solar panel to test the solar spectrum conducive to plant growth and the simultaneous generation of electricity. In 2015 the company combined its product with Solariaâs cell technology to ensure the hardware productâs scalability, with its first commercial 10Kw installation in Watsonville later in the year Soliculture has conducted over four years of crop trials under the LUMO light spectrum. These have taken place in the Monterey Bay, Central California, Southern California, and outside of Edmonton in Alberta, Canada. Trials have ranged from University studies to commercial production, on a variety of crops including vegetables, flowers, and berries. The majority of the trials indicated no statistical difference in plant growth under LUMO, compared to a control crop. In some cases, positive effects under LUMO have ranged from early crop maturation, disease resistance and longer production time. The Soliculture team recently expanded our manufacturing capacity with a partner in Ontario, Canada, where LUMO panels for all North America projects will be made. Soliculture is partnering with greenhouse manufacturers and suppliers to accelerate penetration of their product in the commercial agricultural indust
