top sustainability goals
For 2024 and beyond
Less Environmental Impact
Shoals’ BLA solution is installed above ground, eliminating trenching and reducing soil, water, vegetation, and wildlife impacts. This benefit extends throughout the system’s life by avoiding soil disruption for maintenance and maintains biodiversity on solar development sites.
Higher Energy Efficiency
Shoals’ solutions minimize energy loss with reduced electrical resistance in our interconnect harness and BLA. We optimize projects, delivering higher electricity output compared to conventional systems.
Reduced Resource Use
Shoals’ BLA system streamlines material use, cutting 75% of wire runs and 18% of connections compared to traditional field fabrication methods. Through factory-based production and recycling, we conserve copper, aluminum, and plastics while reducing overall waste.
Extended Product Life
Shoals’ products are built to last the lifetime of the solar field. Our UV-resistant over molds prevent radiation failures, and fiberglass junction boxes outperform metal ones by resisting rust and corrosion.
Interested in Our Sustainability Program?
Shoals’ plug-and-play solutions accelerate the energy transition by reducing costs, speeding up deployment, supporting reduction in carbon footprints, and optimizing resource use—all while supporting local communities and creating jobs.
