Aaargh!! Vertical farms that don't face south!! Make it stop!! *dies*
Nice knee jerk comment, Fred.
The project is in Lenya, Kenya, which is 2 degrees South of the Equator, and utilizes the flat growbed evident in the images. Solar orientation at such equatorial locations is significantly less consequential than in the U.S. where we range between 30 and 50 degrees North of the equator and must adhere to stringent solar orientation directives.
Ah, okay, I apologize. Should've read the article. Thanks for the info, that's very interesting, I guess at those latitudes, eat/west is probably more important.
Congrats!
