Voltage Energy's Triumph Before the ITC
On February 10, 2026, the Voltage Energy Group, a prominent provider of solar and clean energy solutions based in North Carolina, celebrated a remarkable success at the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC). The presiding administrative law judge determined that Voltage Energy’s innovative new product, the
LYNX PLUS, does not infringe upon any patents held by Shoals Technologies Group, Inc. This ruling allows Voltage Energy to continue offering its Trunk-Bus solutions in the marketplace without restrictions.
This victory is crucial as it counters Shoals' ongoing efforts to impede Voltage Energy's market entry and limit competition. Just last January, the ITC had dismissed Shoals' initial investigation from May 2023, wherein Voltage Energy was wrongfully accused of violating three of Shoals’ patents. Meanwhile, Voltage Energy has remained steadfast in its commitment to innovation, introducing the UL-certified LYNX PLUS, which represents a substantial technological advancement over existing Trunk-Bus systems.
Looking ahead, Voltage Energy is set for an upcoming hearing on February 26 and 27, 2026, in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, where they will argue that Shoals’ claimed patents are unenforceable due to unethical conduct during their acquisition. Furthermore, Voltage Energy plans to request a review of the ITC's preliminary decision regarding the original LYNX design, confident that the commission will arrive at a fair and favorable decision, reminiscent of the previous ITC proceedings.
In addition to its legal advancements, Voltage Energy recently announced the acquisition of a manufacturing facility in North Carolina, which will serve as its new corporate headquarters. This expansion is expected to create hundreds of new local jobs and potentially thousands more across the national supply chain, significantly contributing to regional economic development. Voltage Energy continues to propel the growth of the American clean energy sector while reaffirming its dedication to innovation and the strengthening of skilled labor in the U.S. market.
Voltage Energy's focus remains on promoting fair competition and investing in ongoing innovation while equipping its partners with reliable, forward-thinking energy solutions.
