Photosynthesis only uses a couple frequencies. Using solar to generate electricity and feed that into target LEDs can be significantly more efficient.
while not wrong solar does not use most of the sun either and what plants use is where a large part of the energy is. Plus your add in the rest of the inefficiencies of the grid. So I'm back to not seeing how this can be enough better.
i'm sure you can grow plants this way I just don't think you can ever make it a good way
