Commercial Modular Greenhouses
Create controlled environments that reduce risk, improve consistency and allow you to grow your business
Greenhouse systems that grow with your operation—while maintaining precise climate control, biosecurity, and long-term flexibility.
Understanding Limitations with Commercial Greenhouses
As operations grow, many greenhouse systems begin to show their limits:
- Expansion requires major redesigns and can shutdown use of the greenhouse
- Environmental control becomes inconsistent across zones
- Operational inefficiencies become more apparent and more costly
In many traditional greenhouse designs, maintaining precise environmental control and biosecurity can become increasingly difficult as they scale. Airflow, humidity, and temperature can vary across zones, and open structures can allow pests and pathogens to spread.
Operators often try to address these issues individually, but incremental upgrades often add complexity, increase costs, and may not solve the underlying issues.
Why Modular Greenhouse Kits?
- Phased Expansion: Build now, expand later without disruption
- Multi-Zone Control: Optimize environments for different crops or growth stages
- Risk Management: Scale investment alongside your business
- Operational Efficiency: Improve workflow and system integration
Our commercial modular facilities are built for those looking to take their Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) projects to a higher production level.
Our modular design offers a more flexible, long-term solution, especially where control of the environment is needed.
Is a Commercial Modular Greenhouse Right for You?
Modular greenhouses are often ideal for:
- Growing operations planning expansion
- Facilities managing multiple crops or environments
- Operators looking to reduce long-term retrofit costs
Not always ideal for:
- Highly uniform, large-scale monoculture setups
- Smaller operations
The Commercial Modular Greenhouse Kit Design
The greenhouse units of these modular greenhouse kits consist of HighYield™ Kits, connected by corridors and headhouse(s). We offer different configurations of facilities based off of business needs, site constraints, and budget. Our options can be viewed below.
Every modular greenhouse integrates:
- Climate systems
- Advanced controls
- Glazing optimized for performance
- Water and energy management systems
If you are looking for a sealed grow environment (no air exchange between inside and outside environment), then check out our SunChamber™, and note that ANY commercial modular greenhouse can be turned into a SunChamber™.

Commercial Modular Technology
One centralized system for controlling the whole environment. Monitor temperature, relative humidity, and CO2, leaf/ canopy temp, PAR, lighting zones, and outdoor weather.
We offer Ceres designed EcoLoop™ or EcoPack™ HVAC options depending on growing goals, budget, site constraints, and greenhouse type.All Ceres environmental controls are custom integrated to suit your needs.
The GAHT® system is a ground to air heat exchanger, a system often referred to as a ‘Climate Battery’. Ceres leads the industry in climate battery technology, having designed and installed more systems in greenhouses than any other company in the world.
Different crops may demand specific lighting requirements. We offer a variety of lighting solutions designed to suit the needs of each individual operation.
A NetZero greenhouse will have zero net emissions. This goal is achieved through capturing and storing energy. This can be done using a various system options.
Ethylene tetrafluoroethylene is a durable, high light transmissive glazing option. It offers more than 95% light transmission, including the UV spectrum. More than other greenhouse companies, Ceres is implementing full spectrum glazings for maximum crop growth.
Commercial Modular FAQs
We provide custom quotes for all commercial greenhouses, with consideration to the unique climate and growing considerations of each structure.
Below are rough estimates of cost:
US$58-US$68/SF for a 3,000sqft modular greenhouse facility = Base materials kit, includes steel frame, insulated metal panels, glazing, SunSense™ Controller
US$95-US$130/SF = Complete vented structure – Ceres provided materials, including but not limited to evaporative cooling, GAHT®, heaters, dehumidifiers, SunSense™ controller, LED grow lights, irrigation, complete engineering, and construction documentation.
Please contact us for a detailed quote or free consultation about your project.
Our greenhouses and headhouses (indoor areas for plant processing, administrative work, storage, etc.) are modular by design, this allows for expansion at a later time. The corridor-connected designs are probably a better option if you think you might expand later, as construction will not disrupt existing operations.
Please let Ceres know ahead of time if you are considering future expansion. This will allow our engineers to prepare for this potential from the onset, which will save time and money.
The specific environmental control systems and controller chosen will directly impact the crop quality. It is additionally important to keep in mind that the complexity of the control system should match the complexity of the environmental control solutions chosen.
Our modular greenhouse kits are specifically designed to work with our SunSense™ controller for the most energy efficient and high yielding production.
Ceres also offers comprehensive data analysis packages to optimize yields, and therefore profits. These control systems will range in cost. Contact us for more info.
Yes, we work with growers and businesses all over the world. Our modular greenhouse plans can be applied to greenhouses in any location. We customize and integrate appropriate climate controls for your greenhouse to optimize performance for year-round growing in your climate.
