About Me

Dean Solon founded Shoals Technologies in 1996; it makes electrical gear for some of the biggest U.S. solar installations. Solon, who stepped down as CEO to join the board, owns 40% of Shoals Technologies Group, which had its IPO in January 2021. Solon got his start at age 8 carrying his dad's toolbox to repair air conditioners; by 16 he had his own customers. He dropped out of Purdue University and was soon designing and manufacturing automotive parts. He is the author of two dozen patents pertaining to solar gear.
