OptiDrive™ Remote Power Systems
Simplify Power, Improve Efficiency, and Enhance Reliability
OptiDrive™ is Thrive Agritech’s advanced remote power platform that delivers power to LED grow lights more efficiently, safely, and cost-effectively than traditional local driver systems. By relocating drivers outside the grow area, OptiDrive reduces heat above the canopy, lowers installation costs, and significantly improves system reliability.
Built for Commercial Scale
Engineered for 24/7 commercial operation
Each module designed for continuous use and rated for temperatures between -4°F and 104°F
5-year warranty paired with global safety and performance standards including UL, CE, and CSA certifications
Designed to meet GFCI requirements, ensuring safe operation in humid agricultural environments.
Available in two models
Both provide scalable, centralized power for large commercial operations in cannabis facilities, greenhouses, and vertical farms.
For existing facilities when upgrading from HPS to LED
Recommended for new construction
OptiDrive DC
The OptiDrive DC system delivers high-voltage DC power from a centralized rack to multiple grow rooms or greenhouse zones. It is the ideal choice for new construction and large-scale facilities that demand maximum efficiency and reliability.
Each shelf provides 12,000 watts of output through three 4,000-watt modules, operating at up to 95 percent efficiency.
OptiDrive DC supports 208 to 600 volt AC single or three-phase input and can be fully programmed using MODBUS or 0–10 volt control.

OptiDrive DE
The OptiDrive DE model distributes low-voltage power safely over standard cabling to individual fixtures. It is best suited for retrofit projects or facilities that need a simpler, more cost-effective electrical infrastructure.
Each transmitter module provides 3,000 watts of output with efficiency greater than 94 percent and includes seven output channels for flexible zone management.
The low-voltage design reduces installation time, eliminates conduit in many cases, and allows safe wiring throughout the grow space.

BOTH MODELS FULLY COMPATIBLE WITH OPTIDRIVE-READY THRIVE AGRITECH FIXTURES
Including Altus 1K, Pinnacle, Boost XE, Strata HP, and Strata; giving growers the freedom to power diverse lighting systems across cannabis, greenhouse, and vertical farming environments.
Lower Installation and Wiring Costs
OptiDrive reduces the number of electrical components and wiring required, which lowers labor time and overall installation cost.
Improved Thermal Management
Moving drivers outside the growing space removes a major source of heat, reducing HVAC load and improving climate control for plants.
Greater Reliability and Uptime
Fewer in-room drivers means fewer points of failure. Centralized power racks located in a clean, climate-controlled area extend component life and simplify maintenance.
Lightweight, Scalable Fixtures
Remote driver architecture allows Thrive Agritech fixtures to be smaller and lighter, which makes installation faster and reduces mechanical load on racks or ceilings.
Future-Ready Infrastructure
Centralized electronics simplify upgrades and integration with modern control and monitoring systems as operations expand.
Why Remote Power Matters
Traditional lighting systems use a separate driver for every fixture, which creates hundreds or even thousands of potential failure points. These local drivers also add heat to the growing area, increase installation complexity, and make maintenance difficult.
OptiDrive centralizes all drivers in a climate-controlled power room, improving lifespan, reducing downtime, and simplifying access for monitoring and maintenance. This approach also allows for lighter fixtures, lower-cost cabling, and fewer circuit breakers in the field, which reduces material and labor expenses.
