A hydroponic system relies on a pump, and therefore on electricity. Supplying that energy from the sun is a logical evolution — especially in a climate as sunny as Tunisia's. It is one of the recent steps in our approach.
Why pair hydroponics with solar
The NFT system circulates the nutrient solution continuously by means of a pump. By powering that pump with solar panels, you reduce dependence on the grid and take control of one of the most variable cost items: electricity.
A twofold benefit: costs and self-sufficiency
Lower electricity costs have a direct impact on the profitability of the greenhouse. Added to this is greater self-sufficiency in the face of grid disruptions — an advantage for production continuity.
A joined-up logic
Solar hydroponics extends the efficiency logic of hydroponics: after water savings, energy savings. Together, they shape a leaner and more resilient production.
