Luminace, the North American decarbonization-as-a-service business of Brookfield Renewable and Solops LLC (“Solops”), a leading national solar developer in the commercial and industrial sector, today announce an agreement to co-develop a pipeline of distributed generation projects over the next three years. Luminace will be the owner and operator of these projects once fully constructed.
