Sollum Technologies

Sollum Technologies, established in 2015 by co-founders Louis Brun and François Roy-Moisan, is a Montréal-based company operating in the cleantech and agritech sectors. The firm specializes in providing an advanced LED lighting solution for greenhouse growers and controlled environment agricultural research. Its business model centers on the proprietary SUN as a Service® cloud platform, which controls AI-powered light fixtures.

The core offering is a dynamic lighting system that replicates the full spectrum of the Sun's natural light. This technology allows for multi-zone light management, where each zone can receive an unlimited number of tailored light recipes. These recipes are designed to optimize the growth of various vegetable, fruit, and nursery plant cultivars. The system's fixtures are capable of automatic dimming, which contributes to significant energy savings for growers. This level of control over the light spectrum and intensity aims to enhance crop productivity and improve the quality of the produce.

Sollum Technologies serves a clientele that includes commercial greenhouse operators across North America and Europe. The company generates revenue through the sale of its lighting hardware and recurring subscriptions to its SUN as a Service® cloud platform. Support for their clients is provided year-round by a team of horticulture and agronomy experts. Headquartered in Montréal, Canada, the company concentrates its design, development, and manufacturing activities in-house. A representative office in Leamington, Ontario, facilitates its sales and support efforts.
