The Israeli-founded solar technology company is executing its strategy to relocate the bulk of its manufacturing to the U.S., with the first shipments of residential solar systems leaving its American plants for Australia. Broader global deliveries are scheduled to begin next quarter, including commercial and industrial products. Production is currently spread across facilities in Utah, Texas, and Florida.

Following the announcement, SolarEdge’s market value climbed to approximately $2.22 billion. The move was outlined just last month, when CEO Shuky Nir told investors that SolarEdge would anchor its long-term production in the U.S.—not only for the domestic market but for global customers as well. “We intend to manufacture in the U.S. and ship American-made products both locally and worldwide for many years to come,” Nir said.

A Strategic Pivot Away from Israel?

The strategy leverages SolarEdge’s three U.S. plants: the Texas facility producing inverters for the residential market, the Florida facility building inverters and power optimizers for commercial installations, and the Utah site manufacturing residential solar storage batteries.

Producing in the U.S. serves several purposes. It reduces reliance on the “Made in Israel” label, which has faced growing marketing challenges; it aligns with the Trump administration’s push to bring high-tech manufacturing to American soil; and it enables customers to benefit from the revamped American Energy Tax Credit, which grants transferable tax credits—effectively cashable—for U.S.-made renewable energy systems.

The incentive has also helped SolarEdge secure tens of millions of dollars in local financing to expand its American plants. The company currently reports a global headcount of about 3,400, though it has not disclosed the breakdown between Israel and the U.S. In June 2025, it confirmed that its three American factories employed around 2,000 workers—signaling a clear shift of operational gravity away from Israel.

In Q2 2025, SolarEdge posted revenues of $289 million, compared with $265 million in the same period last year. Net loss stood at $125 million, slightly improved from a $131 million loss a year earlier. For Q3, the company forecasts sales of $315–355 million.
