The people
Brandon Moss has run Shoals since July 2023, when he joined as chief executive from Southwire Company, a large American wire and cable maker, where he had led the tools, components and assembled solutions business since 2014. He sits on the board of Shoals itself and, outside it, on the board of the American Clean Power Association. On the insider record this site holds he first filed in 2023 and files still. [1, 2, 3]
The team around him is newer still. Dominic Bardos has been chief financial officer since October 2022, after more than thirty years in finance in other industries. Jeffery Tolnar has been president since December 2022; he joined in April 2021 to run electric vehicle solutions and held the chief executive's chair himself between March and July of 2023. Bobbie L. King Jr. became chief legal officer in June 2025, Kirsten Moen chief operating officer in September 2024, and James Hart chief people officer in November 2024. Every one of the six executive officers the proxy statement names took the post within the last four years. [4, 5, 6, 7, 8]
The board is drawn from the power industry. Brad Forth, its chair, has served since June 2017 and spent more than thirty years in energy. The five nominees the proxy statement lists are Ty Daul, chief executive of Primergy Solar; Jeannette Mills, executive vice president and chief administrative officer of the Tennessee Valley Authority; Niharika Taskar Ramdev, once finance chief of Global Cadillac at General Motors; Lori Sundberg, chief human resources officer of Cadence Education; and Toni Volpe, chief executive of Nadara. On the insider record this site holds, twenty five people have filed as officers or directors and fourteen of them filed in the last fifteen months. [9, 10, 3]
At the end of 2025 Shoals counted about 1,480 full-time and temporary employees, the vast majority of them in the United States. None are represented by a labor union, and the company says it has had no employment-related work stoppages. The office side is small and growing slowly: the general and administrative headcount went from 185 to 199 across the year. [11, 12, 13]
How it operates
Shoals Technologies Group designs, engineers and makes the electrical infrastructure that carries current through a solar farm, a battery storage site or a data center power system. The industry calls that infrastructure electrical balance of systems, or EBOS: everything needed to carry the electric current produced by solar panels, or stored by a battery, to an inverter and then on to the grid. The company dates its founding to 1996, listed its Class A shares on the Nasdaq Global Market in an initial public offering on January 29, 2021, and in the first quarter of 2023 unwound the umbrella partnership structure it had carried since then. It names two end markets: clean, grid connected energy, and data center and mission critical electrical infrastructure. [14, 15, 16, 17, 18]
The work splits in two. A system solution is a complete EBOS design for one project, drawn and specified by Shoals, made by Shoals and supported through installation; it brought 78.7% of 2025 revenue. A component is a single product sold on its own. A system solution contract runs from several hundred thousand to several million dollars with a delivery window of one to three months, and the company says the long development cycle of a solar or battery project usually gives it 12 months or more of lead time to quote, engineer, produce and ship, so it keeps little finished stock on the shelf. Most contracts ask the customer for a deposit of 10 to 20% of the contract value. [19, 20, 21, 22, 23]
Its signature product is the Big Lead Assembly, a trunk bus that changed how a solar field is wired. Instead of running an individual wire from each string of panels to a combiner box, harnesses with fuses built in join the strings within each row and feed an above ground aluminum cable. The company says this cuts the number of wire runs by up to 95%, removes combiner boxes altogether, leans on aluminum that is often 80% less expensive than copper, and lets general labor do work that would otherwise need licensed electricians. For battery sites the equivalent is the Recombiner, which gathers many direct current inputs, from solar arrays, batteries or other sources, into a single output. Data centers are named as an emerging use for the same direct current know-how, with further offerings still being evaluated and developed. [24, 25, 26, 27, 28]
The buyers are the firms that build the projects. Shoals sells mainly to engineering, procurement and construction contractors putting up solar and battery projects of a megawatt or more that feed the grid directly, and beyond them to utilities, solar developers, independent power producers and module makers; because the wiring is mission critical, the filing says the choice of EBOS usually takes in both the contractor and the owner or developer. The business is concentrated: the largest customer was 19.1% of 2025 revenue and the five largest were 53.7% between them, and two customers were each a tenth or more of the year. [29, 30, 31, 32, 33]
Everything is made in the United States. Shoals lists four material facilities: two it owns, at 1400 Shoals Way in Portland, Tennessee and at Muscle Shoals, Alabama, and two it leases in Portland, of 219,767 and 638,330 square feet. In 2025 it spent heavily to move its Tennessee manufacturing and distribution into a new, larger plant, taking a certificate of occupancy in the second half of the year. Sales leaders sit in the United States; people in Spain cover Europe, Latin America and Africa and people in Australia cover Asia-Pacific. At the end of 2025 the order book stood at 747.6 million dollars of backlog and awarded orders, 17.8% more than a year earlier: 326.2 million signed, 421.4 million awarded but not yet under contract, with 326.2 million of backlog and 277.3 million of awarded orders due for delivery in 2026. [34, 35, 36, 37, 38]
The specifics
The defining fact of the last three years is a wire failure. Customers told Shoals that a subset of the wire harnesses in its EBOS solutions showed unacceptable contraction of the wire insulation, and the company says the cause is defective wire made by Prysmian Cables and Systems USA. It first put the potential loss between 59.7 million and 184.9 million dollars, booking 59.2 million of warranty expense in 2023, then in 2024 raised the floor to 73.0 million and brought the ceiling down to 160.0 million. Its best estimate at the end of 2025 is 73.0 million, of which 69.7 million has been incurred; the liability still carried for it fell to 3.3 million from 39.9 million a year earlier. The company holds no insurance for product warranty issues. [39, 40, 41, 42]
The wire has produced a courtroom of its own. Shoals sued Prysmian; the amended complaint pleads product liability, breach of contract, breach of warranty, indemnity and negligence, and mediation is under way. Nothing is counted for a win: any recovery is treated as a gain contingency and would be recorded only when it arrives. Meanwhile stockholders sued the company and its officers over what was said about the matter, a derivative action was filed against officers and directors for breach of fiduciary duty, and the securities case went to court ordered mediation in December 2025 and January 2026 and is still running. The bills show in the accounts: legal and professional costs rose 15.7 million dollars, with intellectual property litigation up from 6.0 million to 9.1 million, wire insulation shrinkback litigation from 7.2 million to 18.3 million and stockholder litigation from 0.9 million to 2.5 million. [43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49]
What Shoals protects is the wiring design itself. At the end of 2025 it held 39 patents issued in the United States, 4 issued elsewhere and 49 applications pending, alongside 25 registered trademarks, with the issued patents running out between 2031 and 2043. It has spent three years trying to enforce them. An administrative law judge at the International Trade Commission found in 2024 that Voltage had violated the tariff law by importing infringing trunk bus products; the Commission reversed that in January 2025 and the appeal is pending. A second case, filed in January 2025 on two newer patents covering the Big Lead Assembly, drew an initial determination on February 6, 2026 that Voltage infringes, with a final determination expected by June 2026, and a parallel case against Hikam ended by joint dismissal in February 2026. The named competitors are Construction Innovation, Hikam America, Nextpower, Premier PV, TerraSmart and Voltage, a short list the company puts down to how few firms have the expertise. [50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56]
Policy sets the pace of the market it sells into. Federal incentives for solar run through the tax code, and in 2025 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act changed them: a placed in service deadline of December 31, 2027 for solar and wind projects, tighter rules on foreign entities of concern, further guidance expected in 2026, and, in the company's words, future federal solar and energy incentives that remain uncertain. Tariffs hit the other side of the ledger: the company says the tariffs of 2025 worsened its gross margins, through duties it paid directly and through higher supplier costs passed along, and on February 20, 2026 the Supreme Court struck those measures down, leaving the aftermath uncertain. Weather matters in a smaller way: installation slows through the colder winter months, which moves the timing of orders. [57, 58, 59, 60]
What drives growth, line by line
Revenue rose 76.1 million dollars, or 19%, to 475.3 million in 2025, which the company puts down to higher sales volumes as utility scale solar projects called for more product. Gross profit as a share of revenue slipped to 35.0% from 35.6%: less wire insulation shrinkback expense than the year before, offset by higher material costs, tariffs, one off operational charges, competition, volume discounts, product mix and less leverage on fixed costs. The inputs are the reason margins move: copper and aluminum costs are not hedged, and the company says it depends on a limited number of vendors and suppliers. [61, 62, 63, 64, 65]
System Solutions. The bigger half by far: 374.2 million dollars in 2025, 78.7% of revenue, up 22.2% from 306.1 million. It is still smaller than it was in 2023, and the company says the domestic utility scale solar market has been volatile in a way that has affected its business. The filing gives the line no reason of its own, attributing the year's growth to volume from utility scale solar projects. [66, 67, 68, 61]
Components. Individual products sold on their own: 101.1 million dollars, 21.3% of revenue, up 8.7% from 93.1 million. It is the steadier of the two lines. In 2024, the year system solutions shrank, components grew, and they grew again in 2025, so the share of revenue they carry has risen two years running. [66, 67]
What comes next, in the company's own words: capital expenditures of 20.0 million to 30.0 million dollars in 2026, against 33.0 million spent in 2025; more significant cash spending on the wire remediation; 326.2 million of backlog and 277.3 million of awarded orders with delivery dates in 2026; and a belief that the industry is poised for continued growth across both its core and new markets, after a year in which the American solar industry added module manufacturing capacity. The International Trade Commission's final determination in the patent case is expected by June 2026. [69, 70, 71, 37, 72, 53]
What the desk infers (inferred, not filed)
- The two customers that were each a tenth or more of revenue are most likely engineering, procurement and construction contractors rather than utilities, developers or module makers. Because: The company says it primarily sold to engineering, procurement and construction firms for use in large solar and battery projects feeding the grid. [29] Its wider customer list puts those contractors first, ahead of utilities, solar developers, independent power producers and module makers. [30] A single system solution contract runs from several hundred thousand to several million dollars, so a buyer taking a fifth of a year's revenue is placing many project orders, which is what a contractor building a programme of sites does. [22, 32] The choice of EBOS takes in both the contractor and the owner or developer, so it is the contractor who places the order. [31] Confidence 70 of 100. Wrong if: A filing, or a customer's own disclosure, naming either of the two customers above a tenth of revenue as a utility, a developer or a module maker rather than a construction contractor.
- The wire failure, not the solar cycle, is what drained the company's cash in 2025, and the money it hopes to recover for it is counted nowhere. Because: The estimated loss is 73.0 million dollars, of which 69.7 million has been incurred, and the liability left on the books is 3.3 million against 39.9 million a year earlier. [41] In 2025 alone 41.0 million dollars of cash went out on identifying, repairing and replacing the affected harnesses, and the company expects to keep spending significant amounts. [71] Cash from operations fell to 17.1 million dollars from 80.4 million in a year when net income rose to 33.6 million. [73, 74] There is no insurance for product warranty issues, and any recovery from the wire supplier is treated as a gain contingency, left out of the warranty estimate. [42, 44, 45] Confidence 80 of 100. Wrong if: A year in which the shrinkback payments have stopped and cash from operations still runs far below net income.
- Data centers, the second end market the company names, contributed little or nothing to 2025 revenue and are still an ambition rather than a business. Because: The filing calls data centers an emerging application and says further offerings for them are still being evaluated and developed. [27, 28] Revenue is split only into system solutions and components, with no data center line anywhere in the disaggregation. [66, 67] The year's growth is attributed to volume from utility scale solar projects. [61] Confidence 75 of 100. Wrong if: A filing or disclosure that reports data center revenue for 2025, or names a data center project among the year's sales.
- The customer base has broadened: the biggest buyer's share has roughly halved in two years while revenue grew, and a second customer has risen into the gap. Because: Customer A took 36.3% of revenue in 2023, 26.4% in 2024 and 19.1% in 2025, while Customer B went the other way, from 5.5% to 10.4% to 12.9%. [75] Revenue rose 19% in 2025 even as the largest customer's share fell, so the smaller buyers grew faster than the biggest one. [61] The five largest customers were still 53.7% of revenue, so the broadening is happening inside a small group. [32] Confidence 70 of 100. Wrong if: A year in which one customer is again more than a quarter of revenue.
