Grows use electricity in many ways, but some of the more common usages per grow category are:
- Outdoor: irrigation, security
- Indoor: artificial lighting, air conditioning, CO2 injection, dehumidification, ventilation, irrigation, security
- Mixed-light: same as indoor, but less
The stages of medicinal plants growth are seed, vegetation and flower. Seeds/clones typically need 24 hours of light for up to four weeks before stems and leaves arrive (vegetative growth), and then up to five weeks of 18-hour days of light are needed to pass into the flowering stage. Flowers only need 12 hours of light each day, to invoke a circadian response for blooming. Flowering lasts 60 days and then the plant is ready to harvest.
The amount of artificial lighting used during certain stages produces a lot of heat in greenhouses and indoor grows, so air conditioners keep everything temperature-controlled. medicinal plants produce water vapor during growth, so dehumidification systems keep climates regular, as humidity-induced mold can destroy crops. Add in irrigation systems and CO2 injection to help feed plants, and it’s obvious to see the 24/7 electricity needs of indoor and mixed-light grow operations.
So There are 2 reasons that solar system makes sense for medicinal plants grow
- Reduce Your Biggest Cost
The most crucial reason for growers to consider going solar is to increase their margin. By adding a solar energy system to a grow operation, you can save a considerable amount of money on electricity costs. You can offset the energy required to irrigate the plans, power the fans, and maintain the indoor lights. The more electricity you use, the more expensive it quickly becomes. Solar energy can provide predictable energy costs and act as a hedge against the continually rising electricity costs.
As the industry grows, larger, well-funded medcinal plants companies will drive down costs with their volume discounts. As any company in the medicinal plants industry is focused on growing, you need to ensure you can keep your price competitive while maintaining your margin. Reduce your grow operation’s most significant expense by installing a solar energy system. The larger your electricity costs, the better the overall ROI. This is why energy needs to be a part of every medicinal plants company’s strategy.
- Avoid Power Outages: A Medicinal Plants Crop Killer
Power outages are one of the easiest ways to destroy an indoor grow operation. With how precise everything has to be with an indoor operation, if you were to lose power for even a few seconds, your entire crop would be ruined. That is why even a diesel generator isn’t a great backup option for grow operations. Medicinal plants growers have now started to shift towards solar panels and battery backup systems to protect their crops from power outages.
