Shoals Technologies Group and ONenergy to Deploy Critical-Power Systems for Leading AI Data Center Operator
PORTLAND, Tenn., Feb. 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. (“Shoals”) (NASDAQ: SHLS), a global leader in electrical infrastructure solutions for the energy transition market, and ON.energy, a developer of custom grid-safe power architecture, today announced an agreement to deploy multiple gigawatts of critical power systems into the AI data center market.
AI and cloud workloads are accelerating data center growth and raising the bar for power reliability, build speed, and operational continuity. This agreement brings together two U.S. innovators with complementary strengths in power architecture and execution.
Alan Cooper, CEO of ON.energy, said:
AI data centers don’t just need more power.
”They need a power architecture that’s predictable under stress, fast to deploy, and designed to interact with the grid. By pairing our medium-voltage AI UPS™ platform with Shoals’ DC Recombiner, we’re delivering a simpler, more scalable path to resilient backup power, one that protects uptime and helps data centers become grid assets as they grow.”
Brandon Moss, CEO of Shoals, stated,
As artificial intelligence and cloud computing drive unprecedented growth in energy demand, data centers are under pressure to secure long-term, reliable power, rapidly and at scale,
“At Shoals, we are well-positioned to support that growth and are scaling our production capacity as we expand into our ~638,000 square foot manufacturing campus in Portland, TN. This agreement with ON.energy reflects a commitment to deliver solutions that combine manufacturing excellence with simple, innovative execution.”
With a proven track record in developing advanced power systems for mission-critical environments, ON.energy brings the technological foundation and engineering leadership that anchor the agreement. The company’s medium-voltage UPS architecture and utility-scale storage expertise form the core of a solution built to safeguard uptime, accelerate deployment, and future-proof data center energy infrastructure. Their deep experience designing resilient, high-performance systems ensures that customers benefit from reliable, scalable, and intelligently engineered power infrastructure.
To amplify these capabilities, Shoals complements ON.energy’s technology with decades of engineering expertise in electrical systems, applying advanced simulations and rigorous modeling to reduce technical and financial risk. By integrating Shoals’ prefabricated, durability-focused designs with ON.energy’s cutting-edge UPS and storage technologies, the companies deliver a differentiated solution that meets today’s urgent infrastructure demands while enabling long-term growth across AI, cloud computing, and digital infrastructure.
