Sollum designs fully dynamic LED lighting fixtures and an AI‑powered SUN as a Service® cloud platform that lets greenhouse growers replicate the Sun’s full spectrum and natural light cycle. Its 100% programmable technology is positioned as a standard for multi‑zone greenhouse lighting and supports an unlimited number of spectral recipes. In 2022 the company launched a line of lighting fixtures to address both large‑scale growers and specialty producers. Sollum cites energy‑efficiency benefits and crop productivity/quality improvements, and continues research with leading producers to expand year‑round local produce availability. The company is focused on enhancing solution flexibility through additional spectral recipes and accelerating market penetration. Financially, Sollum has just closed a $30 million financing round to support growth and commercialization. Sollum develops LED grow-light hardware and a "Sun-as-a-Service" cloud platform that recreates the sun’s natural light and enables multi-zone light management so growers can run different crops in the same greenhouse. The platform automatically adapts each zone’s lighting to ambient light to meet recipe targets. Sollum was founded in 2014 by François Roy-Moisan, Gabriel Dupras and Jacques Poirier and is headquartered in Montréal, where design, development and manufacturing are concentrated. The company has received multiple government grants to support development and testing of its solution, including SDTC and Québec government funding. Sollum plans to use new grant funding to begin a large demonstration project focused on greenhouse tomato production with industry and research partners. Operational specifics such as revenue or user metrics were not disclosed in the article.
