Sunterra, a family enterprise founded in 1970, has long been committed to sustainable crop production and innovation. In 2021, the collaboration with Philips LED plant lighting marked a pivotal moment for the company. By installing the Philips GreenPower LED supplemental lighting system in its new greenhouses, Sunterra has successfully harvested two consecutive seasons of tomatoes and strawberries, ensuring a consistent supply of fresh produce to consumers in Alberta.

Advanced LED Supplemental Lighting: Transforming Crop Yields

In regions like Alberta, where winter natural light is often insufficient for stable plant growth, supplemental lighting is essential. Sunterra’s 17-acre tomato greenhouse employs a mixed lighting solution combining Philips GreenPower LED top-light modules with traditional high-pressure sodium lamps.
