It performed its first acceleration of electrons on May 14, 2006. The name SOLEIL is a backronym for Source Optimisée de Lumière d’Énergie Intermédiaire du LURE (LURE optimised intermediary energy light source), LURE meaning ''Laboratoire pour l'Utilisation du Rayonnement Électromagnétique''.
The facility is run by a civil corporation held by the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA), two French national research agencies. It is located in Saint-Aubin in the Essonne département, a south-western suburb of Paris, near Gif-sur-Yvette and Saclay, which host other facilities for nuclear and particle physics.
