Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement (as amended) of Shoals Parent LLC ("Parent"), common units of Parent are redeemable (together with an equal number of shares of the Issuer's Class B common stock which are forfeited for no consideration) for, at the Issuer's election (determined solely by a majority of the Issuer's directors who are disinterested), newly issued shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis or a cash payment equal to a volume-weighted average market price of one share of Class A common stock for each common unit so redeemed. ( 2 )The reported common units (and shares of Class B common stock) were converted into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock by Shoals Management Holdings LLC ("Holdings") (the "Conversion"), and immediately distributed pro rata to its members for no consideration (the "Distribution"). Holdings is controlled by its sole manager, Parent. Mr. Whitaker is the Chief Executive Officer of Parent and serves on the board of directors of Parent. As such, Mr. Whitaker may be deemed to have beneficial ownership of equity securities held directly by Holdings. ( 3 )The reported securities, which represent the Reporting Person's pro rata portion of, and pecuniary interest in, the shares of Class A common stock received by Holdings in the Conversion, were received in the Distribution by JRW Strategic Holdings, LLC, for which the Reporting Person is the sole manager. ( 4 )The filing of this Form 4 shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any or all of the reported securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
