Voltage Energy Strengthens Its Market Position Amidst Challenge

Voltage Energy Group, a leading provider of solar and clean energy solutions based in North Carolina, has reaffirmed its commitment to innovation and market continuity following a crucial ruling from the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). On February 10, 2026, the administrative law judge announced that Voltage Energy's newly designed "LYNX PLUS" does not infringe on any patents held by Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. This decision allows Voltage Energy to continue supplying its cutting-edge trunk solutions to the industry without interruption, marking a significant win against Shoals' persistent attempts to hinder Voltage's market presence.

In the previous year, the ITC concluded the first investigation initiated by Shoals back in May 2023, where Voltage was wrongly accused of violating three of Shoals' patents. Throughout this process, Voltage Energy did not stand still; instead, they have continued to innovate. The launch of the UL-certified LYNX PLUS represents a significant leap forward in trunk solution technology, showcasing Voltage's dedication to improving the efficiency and reliability of solar energy systems.

Looking ahead, Voltage Energy eagerly anticipates the upcoming bench trial scheduled for February 26 and 27, 2026, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. During this trial, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina will hear evidence demonstrating that Shoals' patents are unenforceable due to misconduct during their acquisition attempts. Voltage Energy is also set to appeal the initial ruling surrounding the original LYNX design, confident that the Commission will reach a just and favorable conclusion, similar to their previous case.

Additionally, Voltage Energy has recently announced its acquisition of a manufacturing plant in North Carolina, which will serve as its future headquarters. This expansion is expected to create hundreds of local jobs and catalyze thousands of additional positions throughout its supply chain, thus stimulating significant economic growth in the region. This commitment not only accelerates domestic clean energy production but also highlights Voltage Energy's unwavering dedication to technological innovation and the development of the U.S. workforce.

Voltage Energy continues to uphold its values of integrity, investing in innovation, and supporting partners with reliable, forward-thinking energy solutions.
