You would need a fiber collection area the same size as the total floor space of your vertical farm. So it would have to be absolutely massive.

Eg, if you're growing a mild-sunlight plant in high-sunlight climes like arizona, you could have a collection grid half the size of the delivery grid.

Switch solar for wind turbines in areas with little sun light and strong winds. I wonder if it would be any easier to recycle water in a city/building than if used for "normal" farming?
