A high-tech lighting system mimicking the huge variety of sunlight – manufactured by the G2V company of & # 039; 39; Edmonton and developed in a laboratory of the University of Alberta by researcher Michael Taschuk – is now tested

The G2V lighting system was not designed to make to grow plants. Instead, it was built to test solar cells at the National Institute of Nanotechnology of the University of Alberta. The goal with solar cells is to obtain a slight increase in efficiency. This requires having extremely accurate diagnostic tools to take measurements, including lamps that mimic the sunlight as it is felt on the surface of the Earth in all its variety, hot and cold , bright and dark.
