On May 18, 2026, employees, customers, public officials, community leaders, and industry partners gathered in Portland, Tennessee, to mark an important milestone for Shoals Technologies Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The occasion celebrated the opening of Shoals\u2019 massive<\/a> new Mega Facility and the company\u2019s 30th<\/sup> anniversary. This event was more than a traditional ribbon cutting. It brought together the people behind Shoals\u2019 growth, the community that has supported it, and the industries the company serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guests toured the new campus, heard from company and community leaders, joined a live panel discussion, and celebrated with employees and their families. The day also included a $20,000<\/a> donation to Hands of Hope, reinforcing Shoals\u2019 long-standing connection to Portland and Sumner County.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bringing Shoals\u2019 Tennessee operations together<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The new 638,000-square-foot manufacturing campus joins three existing Tennessee operations into one centralized location. This consolidation does more than add space. It brings manufacturing, production, packaging, engineering support, and logistics closer together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The campus was designed to expand production capacity and improve operational efficiency. It also supports increased automation within production and packaging. These capabilities will help Shoals respond to rising demand across utility-scale solar, battery energy storage systems, and mission-critical infrastructure such as data centers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The facility is backed by an initial $30 million<\/a> investment. Shoals has planned a total commitment of up to $80 million over five years. For customers, this investment means greater domestic manufacturing capacity. It also creates closer coordination across the teams responsible for producing and delivering critical electrical infrastructure. And for Shoals, it creates room to scale alongside a rapidly changing energy market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A celebration built around people<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The scale of the new facility was impressive. Still, the day\u2019s focus remained firmly on people. Employees joined customers, local leaders, elected officials, business partners, and members of the Portland community. Together, they celebrated the work that made the new campus possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with Shoals\u2019 1996 founding, employees also celebrated with a \u201990s-themed event complete with games, favorite candies from the decade, and plenty of nostalgia. They gathered with popcorn to watch Shoals\u2019 new 30th anniversary film, bringing a personal and playful element to a milestone rooted in three decades of hard work and innovation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
