(NASDAQ:SHLS) announced a strategic collaboration with ON.energy for the deployment of multiple gigawatts of critical power systems into the AI data center market.

The company achieved a 39% increase in fourth quarter revenue to $148.3 million, driven by an increase in sales volumes from higher demand for products to meet the utility scale in solar projects. Gross profit in the quarter increased to $46.9 million. Net income in the quarter increased to $8.1 million from $7.8 million the same quarter. Full-year revenue was up 19% to $475.3 million, while net income increased to $33.6 million from $24.1 million in 2024. Shoals Technologies Group (NASDAQ:SHLS) is a leading provider of electrical balance-of-system solutions for solar energy projects, specializing in components such as cable assemblies, combiners, and disconnects that connect solar panels to the grid.
