About SunStacks
Where sunlight meets
smart farming
We build solar-powered hydroponic greenhouses in Kenya — controlled growing environments that produce premium strawberries and high-value crops year-round, regardless of weather. Our first pilot greenhouse is the proof-of-concept for a scalable network that will redefine what Kenyan agriculture can be.

01
Sustainable Production
Solar-powered greenhouse farms optimised for high-value crops. Hydroponic systems use a fraction of the water of traditional agriculture while delivering consistent, premium yields every cycle.
02
Climate Resilience
Kenya's agriculture loses billions annually to drought, floods, and erratic rainfall. Our fully enclosed greenhouses eliminate climate dependency — production continues regardless of what the sky does.
03
Integrated Technology
Real-time AI-driven crop monitoring, automated nutrient dosing, and environmental sensing ensure every plant grows at its optimal rate. Data replaces guesswork at every stage.
Pilot Programme
One greenhouse.
Infinite proof.
We are launching with a single solar-powered hydroponic greenhouse in Nairobi — our proof-of-concept that will deliver real yield data, validated unit economics, and supply contracts with premium buyers. This pilot is the foundation for a scalable network across Kenya and East Africa.

"Food security is not a distant policy goal — it is a harvest cycle away from crisis. We are building the infrastructure that makes it unbreakable."
Dennis Saka — Founder, SunStacks Indoor Farms
Revenue Model
Three ways we grow
B2B
Fresh Produce Supply
Direct supply agreements with Nairobi's supermarkets, hotels, restaurants, and specialty retailers. Premium, consistent, locally-grown strawberries — year round.
Investment
Farm Partnerships
Revenue-sharing models for chamas and investment groups. Own a share of a modular greenhouse unit and earn from every harvest cycle.
B2C
Value-Added Products
Branded strawberry preserves, juices, and derivatives. Plus farm tours and agritourism experiences connecting consumers with sustainable growing.
Technology
Six systems.
One perfect environment.
Every SunStacks greenhouse is engineered as a complete, self-contained growing system where every variable is controlled and optimised.
I
Vertical Hydroponics
Multi-tiered growing channels stack plants vertically to maximise yield per square metre. NFT and DWC systems deliver nutrients directly to root zones with zero soil dependency.
II
LED Grow Lighting
Spectrally optimised full-spectrum LED arrays deliver precisely the wavelengths that drive photosynthesis. Photoperiods are programmed per crop for maximum growth velocity.
III
Climate Control
Advanced HVAC with CO₂ enrichment maintains the precise temperature and humidity profile each crop variety requires. External climate conditions become irrelevant.
IV
Automated Nutrient Dosing
Computer-controlled nutrient delivery adjusts EC, pH, and mineral ratios in real time based on sensor feedback. Plants receive exactly what they need, when they need it.
V
Solar Power
Rooftop solar arrays with LiFePO₄ battery storage provide 24/7 grid-independent power. Every watt of energy cost is replaced by sunlight — permanently.
VI
Smart Monitoring
IoT sensor networks track temperature, humidity, light intensity, nutrient levels, and plant health in real time. AI flags anomalies before they affect yield.
