Insights
Shoals' expansion into South America with a 110MW Chilean solar project demonstrates strategic global growth and technology validation in new markets.
Shoals Technologies Group has secured a significant international contract with CJR Renewables to supply its Big Lead Assembly (BLA) technology for the 110 MW Alcones solar project in Chile. This marks Shoals' first entry into the Chilean market and represents a strategic expansion into South America, aligning with the company's global growth initiatives.
The contract demonstrates continued market validation of Shoals' BLA system, which differentiates itself through simplifying installation processes, reducing skilled labor requirements, and enhancing long-term system reliability. These advantages are particularly valuable in emerging solar markets like Chile where skilled labor constraints can present challenges.
This expansion provides Shoals access to Chile's robust renewable energy market, which benefits from some of the world's highest solar irradiation levels. The Chilean government has also implemented favorable renewable energy policies, creating substantial growth opportunities for EBOS suppliers like Shoals.
The partnership with CJR Renewables, which has installed 1.6 GW of solar globally, validates Shoals' technology and positions the company to potentially secure additional projects in the region. The Alcones project will serve as a reference installation that can showcase BLA's benefits in the South American context.
By enabling more efficient installation and improving energy yield, Shoals' technology addresses key pain points for solar developers in emerging markets. The project's scale � powering 86,000 households and avoiding 62,000 tons of CO� emissions annually � also demonstrates the meaningful environmental impact of these installations.
This geographic diversification helps reduce Shoals' dependence on any single market and creates opportunities to capture growth in regions with expanding renewable energy portfolios. The Chilean project represents execution on their stated strategy of expanding into high-potential international markets.
