Shoals is a recognized leader in the renewable energy industry, deploying solutions on over 60 GW of solar systems globally.

The Company has manufacturing facilities in Tennessee & Alabama, with sales personnel in Spain and Australia servicing Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.

Shoals sells their solar products principally to engineering, procurement, and construction firms that build solar energy projects.
