Shoals Technologies Group, a provider of Electrical Balance of Systems (EBOS) solutions, has been inducted into the board of directors of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). The company's CEO, Brandon Moss, will represent Shoals on the board.
According to a press release from SEIA, its President and CEO Abigail Ross Hopper extended a warm welcome to Shoals. She noted that the Portland, Tennessee-based company joins the board as SEIA intensifies its efforts to strengthen an American-led solar and storage supply chain. "Solar and energy storage projects involve more than just panels and batteries—these are significant pieces of infrastructure that require additional tools to ensure system performance, reliability, and safety. Shoals is an important voice to have on our board as solar grows to become the largest source of electricity on the grid," said Ross Hopper.
The press release further stated that in 2023, the U.S. solar industry accounted for 53% of all new electric generating capacity added to the grid. This growth was driven by a substantial expansion in domestic manufacturing and numerous companies extending their facilities due to the Inflation Reduction Act.
Moss expressed his enthusiasm about joining SEIA's board in a statement quoted in the press release. "Joining SEIA's esteemed board of directors marks a pivotal moment for Shoals as we further our commitment to advancing solar, e-mobility and energy storage solutions," he said. "Together, we'll drive innovation, reliability, and sustainability, ensuring a brighter future powered by clean energy."
According to information available on SEIA’s website, SEIA was established in 1974 with a mission to promote, develop and implement solar energy use across the United States. With over 1,000 member companies under its umbrella, it has taken up a leading role in transitioning the nation towards a clean energy economy. It aims for solar power to account for 30% of U.S. electricity generation by 2030.
