SolarEdge has ramped up production at its three manufacturing facilities in the United States and has begun shipping U.S.-made products to Europe. This move marks the culmination of a process that has been unfolding gradually for more than a year and now appears to be complete. The company has shut down manufacturing operations in China, Mexico, and Hungary, while retaining a limited production footprint in Asia, primarily through a contract manufacturer in Vietnam.

In Israel, SolarEdge continues to operate the Sela-1 manufacturing facility, located in the Ziporit industrial zone. This site is dedicated to short production runs and manufacturing optimization, leveraging its proximity to the company’s R&D center in Israel.

The Texas facility focuses on single-phase inverter production, the Utah plant specializes in residential battery systems, and the Florida site manufactures three-phase inverters and solar panel power optimizers. The scope of this transformation was disclosed during the company’s earnings call in September 2025. The CEO, Shuki Nir, stated that SolarEdge intends to anchor the majority of its manufacturing in the United States. “We plan to manufacture in the U.S. and distribute U.S.-made products both locally and globally for many years to come.”

Today, SolarEdge employs approximately 3,400 people worldwide. While the company does not provide a geographic breakdown, it reported in June 2025 that its three U.S. manufacturing plants employ around 2,000 workers. This week, SolarEdge announced a key milestone in executing its new manufacturing strategy: the shipment of its first U.S.-made residential inverters to Europe, with initial deliveries to Italy, France, and the Netherlands. The company is now preparing for the first European shipments of its commercial and industrial systems, scheduled to leave the Florida plant in early 2026.

The Generic Solution Strategy

Alongside the reconfiguration of its global manufacturing footprint, SolarEdge is redefining its portfolio to improve marketability while streamlining manufacturing, logistics, and the supply chain. Under this new approach, the company is consolidating product lines to reduce the number of SKUs, with each SKU designed to serve multiple applications or markets. SolarEdge refers to this strategy as Single SKU—an ambition to deliver a unified model, or a very small set of models, capable of addressing a broad range of use cases and geographies, instead of maintaining a large portfolio of distinct variants. In Europe, this concept is marketed under the name MultiRange.

For example, rather than producing separate inverters for Europe and the U.S., SolarEdge aims to manufacture a single inverter platform, with market- or application-specific customization handled through software, configuration settings, or auxiliary components. The company has indicated that this approach will be implemented in upcoming products, including the SolarEdge Nexis Solution, an integrated residential system combining solar energy generation and storage.

The goal is to deliver a unified platform that supports solar production, energy storage, self-consumption, and backup power during grid outages. SolarEdge is now applying the same design philosophy to its commercial and industrial product lines, with the objective of aligning them as well with the Single SKU strategy.
