Commercial hydroponic grow set up

[JD6400]

Have any other members been involved in hydroponics on a commercial scale ?
This is a serious question and not linked to drug production in any way , so please do not drag the tread in to the gutter .

It is for the production of barley grass for livestock fodder . But I would like to hear from any others that have installed similar set ups .

Many thanks

Dave

If this project is as large as the OP says why haven’t the promoters looked for a consultant?

This just doesn’t ring true, why would they employ someone that has to resort to asking a group of random guys on the net?

You really want this gig don't you???

The last one I got involved in they were all arrested before I’d finish writing the PLC program. Never did get paid!

Not really Tony , it is not that large from what I can make out .
I have been approached by a company that is marketing these , as they know we have a good grounding in both the agricultural and equestrian markets in which they wish to target , and it could tie in well with the larger pv systems that we still occasionally install .

I am wary of it being the yet another "next best thing" ! And would like to know if any others had experience , be it good or bad , with this technology ?

I figured a electrical forum was one of the better places to ask , considering the obvious need for power on a unit like this .
