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 executed a
non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with UUES to work
together in developing localized solar solutions for KSA and the
region. As part of the MoU, Shoals and UUES will work to establish
a business to localize solar EBOS manufacturing for the region.
The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has planned to develop up to 130 GW
of renewable power generation in the next six years, with solar
power being a significant portion. In a market that lacks the trade
skills required to execute on this ambitious target, Shoals
believes its plug-and-play, prefabricated EBOS solutions will help
to accelerate this development.
“I am delighted to be partnering with UUES, a highly capable and
agile company that is well established in the region with the right
relationships,” said Gary Uren, Senior Vice President and General
Manager for International Business at Shoals. “We believe this new
partnership demonstrates the vast potential to grow our business on
a global scale.”
“After visiting its facilities in Tennessee, I was convinced
that Shoals has what is needed to see the Kingdom deliver on its
bold objectives for Solar,” stated Samer Mazloum, CEO of UUES.
“Shoals’ approach of pre-designing and pre-fabricating the solar
EBOS will greatly speed up installation time and avoid installation
failures that have plagued the region.”
Shoals’ product localization will include solutions that have
been successful in the United States at improving the reliability
of utility scale projects, improving the IRR for developers, and
eliminating the need for a skilled workforce to install EBOS on
utility scale solar projects.

Forward Looking Statement:
This press release contains certain forward-looking statements
that are based on the Company’s management’s beliefs and
assumptions and on information currently available to the Company’s
management. These forward-looking statements relate to, among other
things, the Company’s new product offerings and the Company’s
international expansion and growth efforts. Forward-looking
statements include statements that are not historical facts and can
be identified by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “could,”
“estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,”
“predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “will,” “would” or similar
expressions and the negatives of those terms.
Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual
results, performance, or achievements to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or
implied by the forward-looking statements. Some of the key factors
that could cause actual results to differ from the Company’s
expectations include, among other things: our expansion outside the
U.S. could subject us to additional business, financial, regulatory
and competitive risks; a further increase in interest rates or a
reduction in the availability of tax incentives or project debt
capital in the global financial markets could make it difficult for
end customers to finance the cost of a solar energy system and
could reduce the demand for the Company’s products; defects or
performance problems in our products or their parts, including
those related to the wire insulation shrinkback matter, could
result in loss of customers, reputational damage and decreased
revenue, and may have a material adverse effect on our business,
financial condition and results of operations; developments in
alternative technologies may have a material adverse effect on
demand for the Company’s offerings; and if demand for solar energy
projects does not continue to grow or grows at a slower rate than
the Company anticipates, the Company may not be able to achieve the
Company’s anticipated level of growth and the Company’s business
will suffer.
These and other important risk factors are described more fully
in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and
subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and other documents filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission, and could cause actual
results to vary from expectations. Given these uncertainties, you
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements.
Also, forward-looking statements represent the Company’s
management’s beliefs and assumptions only as of the date of this
release. You should read this release with the understanding that
the Company’s actual future results may be materially different
from what the Company expects.
Except as required by law, the Company assumes no obligation to
update these forward-looking statements, or to update the reasons
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in
these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes
available in the future.
