How do you create lasting connections?
Client Challenge: Standing Out in the Clean Energy Space
Shoals, a leading manufacturer of interconnection components in the clean energy sector, faced a critical challenge in effectively communicating their value proposition and differentiation in the market. Despite their impressive revenue growth and unique offerings, Shoals faced several key challenges that hindered their ability to capitalize on opportunities and expand their customer base. Shoals sought to transform their online presence to better convey their leadership, foster engagement, and drive growth.
Planit's Solution
Planit designed and developed a customer-centric website that reimagines the Shoals brand, clearly communicates their value proposition, and repositions them as a leader in the clean energy industry. With a seamless user experience, intuitive navigation, and interactive elements to boost engagement, the new website creates a strong digital platform where users can easily engage with the brand. An Insights hub provides educational content curated to showcase Shoals’ expertise, demonstrating Shoals’ thought leadership. And with a flexible, customized content management system, the website is future-proofed to support international expansion, with scalable design and language updates in mind.
Redefining the Shoals Brand Identity
Planit helped Shoals refine their brand story and messaging to project an innovative, inviting brand. Utilizing elements from Shoals’ existing brand, Planit reimagined their aesthetic to be bolder and more modern. Finding a perfect balance between respectful and disruptive, Planit combined Shoals’ primary brand colors, green and purple, into a unique gradient that paid homage to their past and accelerated them into the future. This fresh new look is used across the site in various ways to create a contemporary and cohesive brand platform.
Effective Product Pages
Faced with the challenge of cataloging a broad spectrum of exceedingly niche and complex products, Planit crafted a user experience that effectively presents Shoals’ offerings in a simple and beautiful user interface design. Emphasizing key product features like improved efficiency, safety, and cost-effectiveness, these pages set Shoals apart from their competitors in the clean energy space. Comprehensive technical specifications and certifications provide critical information demonstrating reliability and compliance with industry standards, while clear, strategically placed calls to action encourage users’ next steps.
Showcasing Shoals Innovative Product and Market Solutions in the Real World
Shoals has completed many impressive projects that further demonstrate their experience in delivering impactful, innovative solutions.

Potential clients can see real-world examples of their capabilities, boosting confidence in their ability to deliver quality solutions across multiple sectors.
Driving Engagement Through Thought Leadership Content
Showcasing Shoals’ thought leadership and deep industry expertise was crucial. Planit created an Insights section of the site to do just that. Users can see news, blog posts, compelling infographics, and videos with relevant, educational content. The hub clearly delineates the different types of content and gives users the ability to filter or search, allowing them to quickly locate content they care about.
