What this shows Shoals Technologies Group, Llc stamps GRANTS-SMALL, UPPER-Q, PHOTO-FINISH, CPC-FOCUS, INNOV-PAR, CLAIMS-PAR, TYPE-USCORP, VEL-SURGE, BOOK-FULL. Volume places it #9,376 of 50,000; Innovation Score 49.1/100 sits in the top 15% of the PatentsView-derived corpus. Closest grant-volume peer on this plate is Seed Health, Inc. (±0 grants).
Shoals Technologies Group, Llc has been granted 34 US utility patents between 2015 and 2025, placing Shoals Technologies Group, Llc at #9,376 of 50,000 across all assignees tracked by PlainPatent. This portfolio spans 20 distinct Cooperative Patent Classification (CPC) subclasses, averaging 11.5 claims per patent with primary concentration in H02S (GENERATION OF ELECTRIC POWER BY CONVERSION OF INFRARED RADIATION, VISIBLE LIGHT OR ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT, e.g. USING PHOTOVOLTAIC [PV] MODULES). As a US Corporation, Shoals Technologies Group, Llc is one of the more focused assignees in the PatentsView dataset. By volume, Shoals sits between Seed Health, Inc. (34 patents, rank #9,379) and Tecres S.p.a. (34 patents, rank #9,387) - the closest US assignees by grant volume. The composite Innovation Score of 49.1/100 blends portfolio volume, grant velocity, technology breadth, and claim depth into a single comparable measure drawn directly from USPTO PatentsView records.
Grant cadence records the difference between two grant-year windows. Between 2020 and 2024 the company received 22 grants, compared with 10 in the 2015–2019 window, a +120% shift in five-year grant velocity. Both windows cover five complete grant years; the latest PatentsView year is a partial release and is excluded from this comparison, though it still appears in the yearly table and chart below. Grant timing can lag the related application by years, so this comparison does not establish current R&D spending, strategic intent, or a company’s application activity. The US Corporation classification provides context for the assignee record, not a conclusion about its business strategy.
Claim depth and technology breadth describe this aggregate record. Shoals Technologies Group, Llc's 11.5 average claims per patent is an average count, not a measure of claim scope, legal strength, enforceability, or design-around risk. The record spans 20 CPC subclasses. Combined with portfolio volume, these figures let readers compare the documented grant records of assignees in similar technology classes.
