Shoals Technologies Group
Shoals’ combiner-less BLA harness has helped streamline installation while creating between 20 and 60% material savings. The newest addition to this is the introduction of BLM which adds current and voltage monitoring along with autonomous I/V curve measurement. I-V curve measurement provides more information about the performance of a PV module or array than any other measurement method and is coupled with the fastest possible measurement tools. The entire system is plug and play and completely wireless - allowing for maximum functionality.
