Energy management

Energy management in horticulture 

How do you keep energy consumption to a minimum as a horticultural business ? And how do you make the energy you do use more sustainable? Energy management is an important issue for any business in any industry, including greenhouse horticulture. In fact, particularly in greenhouse horticulture, because energy in the greenhouse is critical for the growth and flowering of any crop. Effective energy management involves many smart sustainable solutions to reduce energy consumption, make it more sustainable and store it.

Stolze offers various solutions for efficient and sustainable energy management in greenhouses. As a specialist in the field of electrical and water technology, grow lights, automation and climate technology, we are constantly innovating. We offer modern technology and high-tech systems.

LED lighting

By switching to a hybrid or full LED system, you can make substantial savings on your energy bill. This is due to the higher efficiency of the light output, the longer life and the greater number of options for creating an optimal light recipe that LED offers.

Dimming of LED fixtures

Use smart lighting control to significantly reduce energy costs. The Priva Connext lighting control links the LED system to your power management. The climate computer automatically adjusts the light levels based on the available sunlight.

Double climate screen

Screen systems are ideal for saving energy. Energy screens keep heat inside the greenhouse while allowing sunlight to pass. Energy savings are the greatest when a double screen is used.

E-boiler

An e-boiler uses electricity to produce heat. This electric boiler has many advantages for the grower, such as a wide control range, low maintenance costs and fast and flexible switching to imbalance prices.

Dehumidification

Dry air heats up more quickly than humid air. That’s why the greenhouse must be well ventilated, especially if the screen remains closed more often. A dehumidification system removes moisture from the air without having to open the greenhouse.

Solar energy

Solar energy is a cost-effective, sustainable way to generate power. Using solar panels saves on energy costs and reduces dependence on traditional, expensive energy sources. 

Geothermal heat

One sustainable way of heating greenhouses is through geothermal energy. This involves the use of geothermal heat as a heat source, instead of gas. There are various geothermal projects in the Netherlands where geothermal heat is used for greenhouse horticulture. 

Residual heat

Residual heat from power plants, industry, data centers and biomass can also be very effective for use in the horticultural sector. By using this residual heat in greenhouses, significant energy savings can be achieved.  

“Energy management is about major, sometimes complex energy issues, but also about basic measures in the greenhouse that will quickly save energy. It doesn’t always have to be large and complex.”
