Purpose
This IRAP project will advance an integrated LED lighting and IoT greenhouse control system from TRL 6 to TRL 8 through pilot-scale validation in a 30-acre bell pepper greenhouse. It will prototype energy-efficient, tunable-spectrum LEDs delivering 25 mol/m²/day DLI at =620?W per fixture, integrate real-time IoT and AI-based control for spectral tuning and crop monitoring, reduce energy use and labor, increase yield from 30 to =34?kg/m²/year, and validate a modular, scalable system. A techno-economic analysis will quantify ROI based on measured energy, yield, and labor savings.
