Unlike marketers, brokers never actually own the commodity traded between the parties, or the means of producing or consuming that commodity.

BrightSource Industries, formerly known as Luz II, designs and manufactures thermal solar power plants. These generate electrical power by using solar energy to convert water to superheated steam. Solar fields reflect sunlight onto a receiver located on the top of a Power Tower. Each Power Tower module is linked by pipelines to a central location where superheated steam and electricity are produced. The first installation was built in Israel as a development facility, and was dedicated in June 2008. A series of 100 MW and 200 MW commercial solar power plants are scheduled to come on line in 2011–2012. BSII Ltd. is a wholly owned engineering and R&D subsidiary of BrightSource Energy Inc. (BSE) of Oakland, California.
