Vertical greenhouses trade space efficiency for energy efficiency, you have to provide lights because they can't make full use of natural sunlight.
This only makes sence for some low-calorie foods, like berries and salads - you have to provide too much light to grow something calorious like -potato

Our panels are inefficient but plant leaves are much worse.
