Shoals Technologies Group is planning an initial public offering of 50 million shares of its Class A common stock.

The Tennessee-based company, whose balance-of-systems (BOS) solutions are deployed on more than 20 GW of solar energy systems globally, has launched a presentation roadshow for potential investors.

In an announcement, Shoals Technologies explained that it will be offering 10.5 million shares, while a parent entity controlled by funds managed by Oaktree Capital Management LP will offer 39.5 million of the shares. The parent entity also intends to grant the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to  7.5 million additional shares.

According to Shoals, the IPO price is expected to be between $19.00 and $21.00 per share. The company intends to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market under the symbol “SHLS.”
