Shoals Technologies Group Files Additional Patent Infringement Complaint Against Voltage, LLC with the ITC

PORTLAND, Tenn., Jan. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (“Shoals”) (Nasdaq: SHLS), a global leader in electrical balance of system (“EBOS”) solutions for the energy transition market, announced today that it has filed a new patent infringement complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (“ITC”) against Voltage, LLC and related foreign entity. This complaint cites two new patents (‘375 and ‘376 Patents) that cover Shoals' Big Lead Assembly (“BLA”) solutions. After filing the pending ‘153 Patent infringement complaint in 2023, Shoals was issued the ‘375 and ‘376 Patents. These new patents relate to an improved trunk bus lead assembly for solar panel arrays and Shoals believes they provide protection against alternative designs that Voltage may create to bypass the original ‘153 Patent. The complaint aims to prevent the illegal importation of trunk bus lead assembly that infringes on Shoals' intellectual property, specifically the patented BLA solutions. “We have always maintained the commitment to protecting our intellectual property and valuable product portfolio against infringement,” Brandon Moss, CEO of Shoals Technologies Group asserted. “We will continue to invest in American jobs, domestic manufacturing, and support the increasing energy demands. To do that we need to remain vigilant against foreign entities to help accelerate the reshoring of domestic clean energy manufacturing.” In addition, Shoals remains optimistic that the final determination in the pending ‘153 Patent infringement complaint, expected from the ITC on January 15th, will uphold the positive initial determination by the Commission.

These forward-looking statements relate to, among other things, the outcome and timing of the new patent infringement case filed with the ITC, as well the Company's existing patent infringement case filed with the ITC, the Company’s future growth, including growth of the Company’s IP portfolio, and possible effects on the Company’s business strategies and operations.
