How do we create a
solution which is
commerciallyviable?
How do we add

farm lands and
achieve ecological
sustainability?
How do wemake
the farmer a

create social
impact?
8. Vision and Value proposition
Reimagining solar farming by,
building smart soilless farming
infrastructure, that enables
utilization of arable and non-
arable land under solar
installations, to produce high
yielding, nutrient-rich crops
which would in-turn contribute
to Dexler’s vision of offsetting
2% of global carbon
emissions by year 2030.
Our smart soilless farming
infrastructure enables us to
utilize existing land under solar
ground mount installations to
yield nutrient-rich crops by
eliminating dependencies on
soil quality and reducing water
requirements. It thereby helps
us build an alternate revenue
stream for solar plant owners
from the same parcel of land.
Vision Value Proposition
9. The Solution
Technology
Control and Monitoring System
Internet of Things – Our IoT based control
and monitoring system collects plant level
data through sensors and manage plant
ecosystem to achieve highest levels of yield
per plant.
Intelligent FARM Management system
Our proprietary machine learning system manages th
e farm parameters to obtain the most optimum yield.
The system also prevents crop loss due to pests and
diseases by raising pre-emptive alerts through its
thermal and optical image recognitionsystem.
Smart Automated HPV System
Growth and Structure Technology
Structures, installed under solar panels, contain gr
owbeds which act as the ecosystem for plants to
grow healthy and robust root system. We deploy
NFT, aeroponics vertical tower systems.
10. Hydroponicfarminghelpsunlockthelandina sustainableandecologically

“Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without using soil (i.e., soil less). This technique instead uses a
mineral nutrient solution in a water solvent, allowing the nutrient uptake process to be more efficient than
when using soil” – Maximum Yield
Image shot at our test bed in Bidar 50 MWproject
11. Our smart hydroponics system
reduces the water requirement by as
much as 95% of that of a
conventional system which would
enable farming even in draught hit
regions
Water Requirement
Increased Yield
The yield per plant is 3x the yield
seen in traditional farming which
means more yield per unit area.
Unlimited Flexibility
Due to external infusion of nutrients
and independent modules for each
plant, multiple crops can be grown in
a single parcel of land
system hence unlocking an
alternate revenue stream
Unlock Land Potential
The land under solar installations
can be used for our hydroponics
Soil Independent
As the system does not rely on
soil for nutrients, all land parcels
are conducive for installations
Organic Yield
Zero use of any chemical
insecticide or pesticide renders
the produce to be devoid of any
harmful effects on humanhealth.
