Solos is an innovative company specializing in the production of high-quality lettuce for the local market in Bolzano and South Tyrol. Strategically located at the crossroads of Italy, Austria, and Germany, the company ensures fresh, sustainably grown vegetables for its customers.
In this case study, you will discover how our LED solutions have been essential in optimizing young plant growth, improving quality, and reducing energy consumption.

The project

To enhance the yield and quality of organic lettuce, Solos embarked on an innovative project aimed at optimizing the growth of young plants. The goal was to create an efficient system for rooting and vegetative development in indoor growth chambers, providing ideal conditions before transferring the plants to greenhouses. In the greenhouse, the plants are cultivated until they reach optimal size for harvesting and sale.

Installation description

Solos chose our AE100 LED lamps to illuminate its indoor growth chambers. Equipped with Osram LEDs, these lamps provide stable and uniform lighting conditions, fundamental aspect for the development of young plants.
In the greenhouse, AE100 lamps complement natural sunlight, enabling consistent and uniform growth throughout the year. The system supports plants at every stage, from germination to harvest, ensuring high-quality results.

Installed product

AE100

The AE100 lamp is designed for high-intensity work environments and variable conditions such as greenhouses and indoor growth chambers. Featuring individual Osram LEDs, it delivers a photosynthetically active spectrum, essential for stimulating growth and improving plant health. Its resistance to humidity and temperature fluctuations, combined with its long lifespan (maintaining 90% of light intensity up to 100.000 hours), makes it an ideal solution for intensive cultivation, as seen with Solos.

Benefits achieved

Thanks to our LED solutions, Solos achieved remarkable results:

  • Superior quality: Lettuce is sold with live roots, preserving freshness and integrity until consumption.
  • Lighting efficiency: Our lamps provide a consistent 15 hours of light per day, seamlessly complementing natural sunlight in the early morning and evening.
  • Environmental sustainability: the system combines advanced technology and fish farming to provide natural nutrients to plants, creating an ecological balance.

With these solutions, Solos meets the demands of customers who value quality, freshness, and sustainability, setting itself apart in the local cultivation market.
