What Sollum Technologies does

Sollum Technologies, founded in 2015 and headquartered in Montréal, Quebec, designs and manufactures dynamic LED grow light fixtures for commercial greenhouses and runs them through its AI-powered SUNaaS (Sun as a Service) cloud platform. The fixture family — SF-INFINITE, SF-MAX, SF-PRO, SF-ONE, and SF-E2 — supports up to four independently controlled spectral channels (blue, green, red, far-red) with edge computing at the fixture level, while the SUNaaS platform enables real-time control of spectrum, intensity, timing, and daily light integral (DLI) across unlimited zones, with features such as a recipe library, tariff-aware dimming, load-shedding controls, and integration with existing climate control systems. The platform supports 100+ crops and cultivars and is positioned by the company as the only 100% dynamic LED solution in its category.

The company sells a combined hardware-plus-software-plus-services bundle through a direct enterprise field-sales motion with proof-of-value trials and ROI analyses. Revenue comes from LED fixture sales (hardware), annual SUNaaS SaaS subscriptions, and 360 Support technical and agronomic services. Customers are commercial greenhouse operators across vegetables, berries, cannabis, floriculture, and propagation in Canada and the United States, with named enterprise deployments including Allegro Acres (5,300+ fixtures), Roelands Plant Farms (12-acre expansion), Red Sun Farms, Les Serres Bertrand, The Chef's Garden, Gen V, and Greentone. Distribution is direct, with regional offices in Kingsville, Ontario and Atlanta, Georgia supporting North American sales expansion.

Sollum has raised approximately $45 million+ in funding to date, including a $30 million growth round in January 2023 led by Idealist Capital with Fondaction, and earlier grants from Sustainable Development Technology Canada and other Canadian backers. The company has 51-100 employees and holds registered trademarks covering its product family (SF-INFINITE, SF-MAX, SF-PRO, etc.), the SUNaaS and S.E.A.R.C.H. platforms, and the "LED by nature" brand mark. Cloud operations are hosted at SSAE 18 / ISAE 3402 Type II compliant facilities, and the company's SF-INFINITE fixture received DesignLights Consortium certification in 2025.
