PART I
ITEM 1. Business
Introduction
We are a global smart energy technology company that changed the way power is harvested and managed in photovoltaic (also known as PV) systems. Our direct current (“DC”), optimized inverter system maximizes power generation while lowering the cost of energy produced by the PV system for improved return on investment, or ROI. Additional benefits of the DC optimized inverter system include: comprehensive and advanced safety features, improved design flexibility, efficient integration (DC coupled) with SolarEdge storage solutions, and improved operation and maintenance, or O&M, with remote monitoring at the module-level. The typical SolarEdge DC optimized inverter system consists of inverters, Optimizers, a communication device which enables access to a cloud-based Monitoring Platform and, in many cases, a battery and additional smart energy management solutions and devices, such as EV chargers and load controllers. As part of our hardware sales, we also provide the energy management software which controls, manages and optimizes the energy production, storage and use of energy generated by our systems. Our solutions address a broad range of solar market segments, from residential solar installations to commercial and small utility scale solar installations.
We have expanded our activity to other areas of smart energy technology, both through organic growth and through acquisitions. By leveraging world-class engineering capabilities and with a relentless focus on innovation, we now offer energy solutions that include primarily the hardware technology used in residential, commercial, and small scale utility PV systems and also product offerings in the areas of energy storage systems, or ESS, EV chargers, home and commercial energy management software, grid services, software platforms and applications that enable virtual power plants ("VPPs").
We primarily sell our products indirectly to thousands of solar installers through large distributors and electrical equipment wholesalers and directly to large solar installers and engineering, procurement, and construction firms, or EPCs. Our customers include leading providers of PV systems to residential and commercial end users, key solar distributors, and electrical equipment wholesalers.
The SolarEdge Solution. The key advantages of our solution over a traditional string inverter PV system include:
1
For residential systems, SolarEdge ONE optimizes the way homeowners use, store, and sell their energy, as well as charge their EVs using their smart devices, in accordance with their personalized preferences. It enables users to store solar energy at cost-effective times. It is designed to permit homeowners to control the timing of their PV energy consumption in order to increase their energy independence, take advantage of lower time-of-use rates, reduce electricity bills, and is designed to improve overall system return on investment.
Commercial installations benefit from SolarEdge ONE’s ability to synchronize production, consumption, and storage to align with business goals, making data-driven decisions based on customer definitions and market conditions. SolarEdge ONE includes robust monitoring and reporting tools that enable PV professionals to enhance operational efficiencies and lower maintenance costs across their fleets.
The SolarEdge ONE for commercial capabilities extend to optimization and management of sites featuring large quantities of EV chargers (e.g. workplaces, parking lots, apartment buildings, public charging stations, etc.) as well as support for enterprises seeking to take control of their energy usage with greater energy management and connectivity capabilities, enabling more efficient and sustainable energy management.

Our Products
Our products reflect our focus on innovation, the capacity of our technology departments as well as the emphasis that we put on creating value for our customers. Our core product roadmap includes: our power optimizers and inverters, which form an integral part of the DC optimized inverter systems, batteries, and smart energy management.
We have drawn on our expertise in the fields of power electronics, analog and digital electronics, magnetic design, mechanical and heat dissipation, control, and algorithms, power line communications and lithium-ion battery technology, to design and develop advanced commercial solutions for harvesting power from PV, storage and energy management solutions for residential and commercial applications. These technologies are explained in greater detail below. Our portfolio also includes energy IoT, EV charging optimization, and energy storage systems.
We operate in one reportable segment, which includes the following products:
SolarEdge Power Optimizer. Our Power Optimizer which forms an integral part of our DC optimized inverter system is a highly reliable and efficient DC-to-DC converter which is connected to each PV module. Our Power Optimizer increases energy output from the connected PV module by continuously tracking the MPP of the module and controlling its operating point. The Power Optimizer’s ability to track the MPP of the connected PV module and its ability to adjust the optimizer output voltage enables the inverter’s input voltage to remain fixed under a large variety of string configurations. This feature enhances the flexibility in PV system designs, enabling a single inverter to be connected to strings of different lengths to PV modules featuring multiple orientations, and using various PV module types. In addition, our Power Optimizers monitor the performance of each PV module and communicate performance data to our inverter using our proprietary power line communications (“PLC”). In turn, the inverter transmits this information to our monitoring server. Each Power Optimizer is equipped with our proprietary safety mechanism which automatically reduces the output voltage of each PV module to 1 volt unless the Power Optimizer receives a fail-safe signal from a paired functioning inverter. As a result, if the inverter is shut down (e.g., for system maintenance, due to malfunction, in the event of a fire or otherwise), the system is designed to reduce the DC voltage to a safe level. Some of our SolarEdge Power Optimizers include our “Sense-Connect” capability which is designed to monitor Power Optimizers’ connectors to identify improper connections and possible malfunctions, enabling the early detection and mitigation of arc risks.
Our Power Optimizers are designed to withstand high temperatures and harsh environmental conditions and contain multiple bypass features that localize failures and enable continued system operation, even in cases of Power Optimizer failure, in the vast majority of cases. Our Power Optimizers are compatible with most modules on the market today and carry a 25-year product warranty. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the year ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, revenues derived from the sale of Power Optimizers represented 41.4%, 34.9% and 30.3% of total revenues, respectively.
Our Power Optimizer Technology: Our Power Optimizers are DC/DC step up/step down ("buck+boost") converters designed and developed to operate in harsh outdoor environments at very high conversion efficiency. Our Power Optimizers include proprietary power electronics and control loops customized to efficiently convert power from the PV module to the inverter.
A key factor in the performance of our Power Optimizer is determined by the digital control algorithms and closed-loop control mechanism. The Power Optimizer’s control is built into our advanced ASIC which is responsible for all digital control functions of the power optimizer, including detailed power analysis, digital real-time control of the power conversion subsystem, power line communications and networking. Since each Power Optimizer handles the power and voltage of either a single module or two modules, we are able to reach a high degree of semiconductor integration by leveraging low-cost silicon in standard semiconductor packages. As a result, much of the Power Optimizer functionality can be integrated into a standard ASIC instead of requiring discrete electronic components, resulting in lower costs and higher reliability.
The ASIC performs the critical power analysis and power conversion control functions of the Power Optimizer. The power analysis functions process the state and working parameters at the Power Optimizer’s input and output and, together with advanced digital control and state machine logic, control the power conversion function. In addition, our digital control system uses technology that allows the PV installation to anticipate and adapt to changing operating conditions, and to protect itself against system anomalies.

Each Power Optimizer in the array is connected to the inverter by a power line communications networking link. Our power line communications link uses a proprietary networking technology that we developed, utilizing the existing DC wiring between the Power Optimizers and the inverter to transmit and receive data between these devices using scalable technology supporting a wide range of installation sizes, from small residential to large commercial installations.
Our Power Optimizer Product Roadmap: We currently sell our fourth and fifth generation of Power Optimizers, the S-Series, designed for fully automated assembly and based on our fourth and fifth generation ASICs, respectively. We have launched the H1300, a Gen 4 based Power Optimizer, as a part of the SolarEdge TerraMaxTM inverter solution, with our H1500 Power Optimizer now available in North America. The H1500 is designed to enable more power per string and supports even higher power PV modules, leading to reduced BoS costs for our TerraMax solution. The H-Series models are our first optimizer equipped with high frequency DC power line communications technology which allows communication with larger numbers of Power Optimizers for ground mount applications as well as improved remote software upgrade capabilities.
In an effort to improve efficiency, with each new ASIC generation, we have reduced the number of components required for any given functionality, thereby adding more functions to the Power Optimizer. An improvement in efficiency reduces energy loss, which in turn, decreases heat dissipation. This enables design of a more cost-effective and typically smaller enclosure and while keeping the electronics cooler, improving the Power Optimizer’s reliability. Our research and development teams continuously work on further improving our ASICs and releasing new generations of this advanced technology.
For the commercial market, we plan to launch our SolarEdge Duo Power Optimizer featuring a dual input design. This allows the connection of two PV modules with Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) for each independent module, for enhanced system performance.
SolarEdge Inverters. Our DC-to-AC inverters which form an integral part of our DC optimized inverter systems, contain sophisticated digital control technology with efficient power conversion architecture resulting in superior solar power harvesting and high reliability, and are designed to work exclusively with our DC Power Optimizers. A proprietary power line communication receiver is integrated into each inverter, receiving data from our Power Optimizers, storing this data and transmitting it to our monitoring server when an internet connection exists. Since each string that features our Power Optimizers provides fixed input voltage to our inverter, the inverter is able to operate at an optimized efficiency at all times and therefore is more cost effective, energy efficient and reliable.
Like our Power Optimizers, our inverters are designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions.We currently offer single-phase inverters designed to address the residential market (2.2 kilowatt (“kW”) to 11.4 kW), and three-phase inverters designed to address the residential and commercial markets (5 kW to 120 kW). We also offer our three-phase SolarEdge TerraMaxTM inverters, which are designed to address the ground mount market (300kW to 330kW). Paired with our H-Series Power Optimizers, the SolarEdge TerramaxTM supports distributed and centralized inverter configurations and is designed for grount mount installations such as, community solar, floating PV, and dual use Agri-PV sites.
The vast majority of our inverters are sold with a 12 year warranty that is extendable to 20 or 25 years for an additional cost. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the year ended December 31, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 revenues derived from the sale of inverters, represented 28.2%, 27.5% and 46.2% of our total revenues, respectively.
Our Inverter Technology: Most of our inverters are designed for single-stage DC/AC conversion. Using our inverter in combination with the Power Optimizers allows the inverter control loop to maintain a regulated DC voltage level at its input, thereby enabling the inclusion of long, uneven, and multi-faceted strings of solar modules while also enabling custom, cost efficient, and reliable inverter design and component selection.
Our inverters’ digital control algorithms are implemented using programmable digital signal processors which allow for flexibility and the adaptation of control loops for various grids and for the requirements and standards of different grid operators across geographies. We have already implemented the control mechanisms necessary to support advanced grid codes and standards that are required to support high penetration of solar energy into utility grids. We continue to develop and manufacture our own DSP (ASIC) in our inverters which enables us to improve the performance of our control loops, increase our cost savings and reduce dependence on third party suppliers. The DSP (ASIC) performs the critical power analysis and power conversion control functions of the inverter. Additionally, our digital control system uses technology that is designed to allow the inverter to anticipate and adapt to changing operating conditions, and to protect itself against system anomalies as well as comply with applicable regulations in the different regions in which we operate.
4
Our DSP (ASIC) is also in charge of our PLC networking link between the inverter and the optimizers. Our PLC uses a proprietary networking technology that we developed, utilizing the existing DC wiring between the Power Optimizers and the inverter to transmit and receive data and commands between these devices.
We have developed and continue to develop in-house design and manufacturing capabilities for several major passive components, such as magnetic components, in order to decrease dependence on suppliers, improve component performance, reduce costs and have better control over our production processes.
Our Inverter Product Roadmap: Our inverter roadmap includes both new products as well as additional capabilities for existing inverters. Our inverter roadmap is intended to serve four main purposes: (i) expand addressable markets (ii) improve electronic design: increase total power throughput while minimally changing the existing enclosure, thereby reducing cost per watt and increasing economies of scale; (iii) simplify and enhance ease of installation: integrate additional functionality required in certain installations to reduce costs of additional hardware and subcontractors’ labor costs; and (iv) improve the residential inverter's functionality.We are in the final stages of the development of our next-generation SolarEdge Nexis Inverters for single phase and three phase systems, which is now in the process of being launched. We plan to begin offering the new SolarEdge Nexis Inverter 3ph which is designed to provide between 8-20 kW to address the three phase residential market and the SolarEdge Nexis Inverter 1ph designed to provide 3.8-13 kW to address the single phase residential market.
We plan to introduce our MultiRange Concept, which is designed to simplify the way our customers stock, sell, install, and service SolarEdge inverters. This is part of our ongoing efforts to save time, reduce complexity, and grow profitably with our products. With the MultiRange Concept, select residential and commercial inverters will be able to support multiple power ratings rather than be limited to one power setting. While the inverters are stocked, the inverter power rating remains undefined. Installers only need to configure the inverter power onsite, during the commissioning process using our SolarEdge Go mobile app. This concept is intended to lessen the amount of overall part numbers and simplify inventory management. Each inverter can support multiple job sizes.
Storage Solutions.
For the Residential Market: The SolarEdge Home Battery 400V, our DC-coupled, 10kWh, single-phase battery (scales up to 3 batteries per inverter) integrates with our single phase SolarEdge Home Hub and Wave family of inverters. We also offer the SolarEdge Home Battery 48V, our DC-coupled, 4.6/4.85kWh (can scale up to 5 battery modules per inverter) battery that integrates with our three phase SolarEdge Home Hub Inverters. When connected with our SolarEdge Home Backup Interface (BUI), with either of our single and three-phase inverters, the SolarEdge Home Battery aims to provide homeowners the ability to power their homes even when the grid is off for anywhere from several hours to several days, depending on use of loads and available sunlight during the outage. The battery also works in tandem with the SolarEdge ONE energy optimization system to optimize the use of solar energy in locations with different types of import and export tariffs scenarios (such as time-of-use and dynamic rates). Our batteries can be connected to our cloud‐based monitoring platform, reporting information on the battery status, solar production, and self-consumption data.
With the SolarEdge backup solution, power is stored in a battery and can be used during a power outage to power essential devices such as refrigerators, communication devices, lighting, and AC outlets for anywhere from several hours to many days, depending on use of loads and available sunlight during the outage.

Our batteries are composed of lithium cells, a Battery Management System (BMS), bi-directional DC/DC high efficiency converter that facilitates the charging and discharging of the battery, and a user interface. Our DC/DC converter uses digital control algorithms, which are implemented using a programmable digital signal processor. Our power products, inverters, Power Optimizers, and batteries are connected to the same DC bus, allowing the battery to be directly charged by the DC current generated by the Power Optimizers without AC conversion, thereby reducing the round-trip efficiency of PV generated power provided from batteries the AC loads.
Residential Storage Solution - Product Roadmap: Our residential storage solution, launched in 2021, is designed to integrate with our single phase and three phase inverters to provide optimal energy management, maximum efficiency, longer backup times and increased ease of use for homeowners.
5
We plan to begin offering a new SolarEdge Nexis Battery, our DC-coupled, 4.65 kWh battery (scaling up to 78.4 kWh per inverter) that integrates with both our single phase and our three phase SolarEdge Nexis Inverters.

mySolarEdge app. The mySolarEdge application enables system owners to track their real-time system production and household energy consumption, view their inverter and battery status for quick analysis, and control the battery's back-up configuration, all from their mobile phones.
SolarEdge Go app. The SolarEdge Go app is a mobile application designed for SolarEdge installers, integrating installation, management, and service capabilities into a single platform. This comprehensive app allows installers to manage their fleets efficiently by providing real-time alerts, equipment management, and user administration. It also offers remote service and operation features, including diagnosis, troubleshooting, and configuration, which help minimize downtime and reduce the need for on-site visits. Additionally, SolarEdge Go simplifies the commissioning process with an intuitive step-by-step “wizard” and detailed reports, ensuring streamlined installations. This app enhances the overall installer experience by consolidating multiple functionalities into one tool, making it convenient for installers to monitor and manage their entire fleet. We intend for SolarEdge Go to replace our legacy SetApp mobile app for all residential and commercial site installation commissioning.
SolarEdge Designer Platform. Our Designer Platform is a web-based tool that helps solar professionals plan, build, simulate, and validate residential and commercial systems from inception to installation.
SolarEdge Designer Platform - Product Roadmap: Over the course of 2025, we released several major features designed to enhance the system design and sales experience, including:
Mapper Application. The mapper application provides SolarEdge installers with an efficient, streamlined process for registering the physical layout of new PV sites installed with SolarEdge DC optimized inverter systems in the SolarEdge Monitoring Platform. Installers can use the Mapper application to scan SolarEdge Power Optimizer and SolarEdge inverter barcodes, creating a virtual map of the PV site in the monitoring platform. The map may later help facilitate remote diagnostics thereby enabling enhanced customer support and reducing maintenance costs for installers and SolarEdge system owners.
SetApp Application.The SetApp application is used to activate and configure SolarEdge inverters during commissioning directly through a smartphone. This application is designed to simplify and expedite installations. We plan to replace our SetApp application with SolarEdge Go, for all residential and commercial site installations as well as for commissioning activities.
SetApp Application - Product Roadmap: We continue to improve our software offering portfolio with the introduction of new tools and features. We are developing algorithms that detect and pinpoint problems that can affect power production in field systems. In addition, we are expanding the capabilities of our public Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to enable third‐party developers, partners, and customers to integrate our systems into their own applications and workflows. These expanded APIs will allow users to build, deploy, and share innovative solutions leveraging the monitoring and operational data generated by our software platforms.
Grid Services. As energy production is transitioning from a centralized system to a distributed network model, where energy is produced and stored close to the location in which it is consumed. This model creates an opportunity for new interconnected and decentralized energy networks offering improved grid reliability and stability, new energy service and reduction in grid infrastructure costs. SolarEdge grid services deliver near real-time aggregated control and data reporting, enabling the pooling of distributed energy resources - photovoltaic systems, battery storage and electric vehicle chargers, in the cloud for the creation of VPPs. The SolarEdge grid services and VPP solution provide management platforms to enable near real-time, aggregated control of available energy resources to meet ever-changing supply needs and demand. Our Virtual Power Plant program interfaces (APIs) are used by our partners for countering peak demand events and for participating in various electricity markets. In 2025, SolarEdge continued to sell grid services, mainly in the U.S., including services provided to independent system operators, energy retailers, national installers and others.

Product Portfolio Evolution.
We continuously evaluate opportunities to expand our core product offerings and services to our customers. We may from time to time develop new products or services that are a natural extension of our core products and existing business, or may engage in acquisitions of businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen our market position, enable us to enter attractive markets, expand our technological capabilities, or provide synergistic opportunities. In parallel, we also evaluate and, when appropriate, divest or discontinue non‐core product lines, such as our recent divestitures from our Energy Storage Department and our PV tracker business, to maintain a company wide focus on our core offerings.
Sales and Marketing Strategy
In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. We remain open to penetrating new geographic regions and increasing our market share.
We target our sales and marketing efforts to the largest distributors, electrical equipment wholesalers, EPC contractors and installers in each of the countries where we operate. Our products are carried and actively sold by most of the top PV distributors as well as some of the largest electrical distribution companies. As of December 31, 2025, based on the number of installer accounts on our monitoring portal, over 93,000 installers around the world have installed SolarEdge PV systems.
Additionally, as further detailed below, we offer several programs focused on educating installers and other industry professionals about our technology, and we use a combination of road shows, webinars, and partner trainings to teach them how to best design, sell, and implement our technology in their projects.
Our Customers
We derive a significant portion of our revenues from key solar distributors, electrical equipment wholesalers and large installers in the U.S. and worldwide. In 2025, one of our customers, Consolidated Electrical Distributors, Inc, represented 18.6% of our revenues. None of our other customers accounted for more than ten percent of our revenues in the year ended December 31, 2025.
Training and Customer Support
We offer our installer base a comprehensive package of customer support and training services which include pre-sales support, ongoing trainings, and technical support before, during, and after installation based on our global operation structure. We also provide customized support programs to large installers and distributors to help prioritize and track support issues, thereby enabling short cycle times for issue resolution. In December 2025, we began to roll out new AI‐powered virtual support agents, designed to help resolve common technical inquiries, reduce service wait times, and provide real‐time troubleshooting and product guidance across phone and chat channels. We also deployed an AI‐driven agent assistant that delivers context‐aware response recommendations to support teams, enhancing service accuracy, consistency, and operational efficiency.
During 2025, our training portal (Edge Academy) hosted over 161,263 learners.
During 2025, 12,162 installers completed our certification programs.
In addition to the above, we support our commercial system customers with design consulting throughout their sales process and installation.

Our technical support organization includes local expert teams, tech centers, an online service portal, an AI-powered virtual support agent, and live chat service. Our toll-free call and live chat centers are open Monday through Friday at least from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. based on our global support operation structure. In addition, customers can open and track support cases 24/7 utilizing our online portal. All support cases are monitored via a customer relationship management system in order to provide service, track closure of all customer issues and further improve our customer service. Our call centers have access to our cloud-based monitoring platform database, which enables real-time remote diagnostics.
Customer service and satisfaction continue to be a key component of our business offering and we consider it integral to our continued success. We maintain high levels of customer engagement through our call centers in California, India, Bulgaria, Israel, Brazil, Taiwan, Thailand, and Poland. In addition to our call centers, we have field service engineers located in the geographies where we are active, and support our customers with commissioning of large projects, introduction of new technologies and features and on-the-job training of new installers. As of December 31, 2025, our customer support and training organization consisted of 749 employees worldwide.
Manufacturing
We have designed our manufacturing processes to produce high quality products at competitive costs. The strategy is threefold: outsource, automate, and localize. We currently contract to have our solar products manufactured by two of the world’s leading global electronics manufacturing service providers, Jabil Inc. (“Jabil”) and Flex Ltd. (“Flex”). By using contract manufacturers, we are able to access advanced manufacturing equipment, processes, skills and capacity on a relatively “asset light” budget while remaining flexible in our manufacturing operations and are able to enjoy the CM’s global reach and access to different manufacturing regions. Our contract manufacturers are responsible for funding some of the capital expenses incurred in connection with the manufacture of our products, except with regard to some of the automated optimizer assembly lines, our proprietary end-of-line testing equipment and other specific manufacturing equipment utilized in assembling our products or sub-components which are financed and owned by the Company. We expect to continue this funding arrangement in the future, with respect to any expansions to such existing lines save for circumstances where the direct purchase by us of non-specific manufacturing equipment will result in a substantial reduction in costs in which case we will consider financing such non-specific manufacturing equipment ourselves. In light of the Inflation Reduction Act ("IRA") legislation in the United States which incentivizes the local manufacturing of renewable energy products by providing benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of US-manufactured products, as well as by incentivizing manufacturers of such products domestically, we are manufacturing inverters in Texas, inverters and optimizers in Florida, and are also ramping manufacturing of our batteries in Utah. With the ramp-up of these new sites and as part of an effort to centralize and improve operational activity, we have discontinued manufacturing in China, Mexico, and Hungary. We continue to maintain manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam with a third party manufacturer.
Our own manufacturing facility in the North of Israel, is called “Sella 1". The proximity of Sella 1 to our R&D team and labs enables us to accelerate new product development cycles as well as define equipment and manufacturing processes of newly developed products which can then be adopted by our contract manufacturers worldwide.
SolarEdge is mindful of the transformative impact of automation and AI in manufacturing efficiency and product manufacturing innovation. We are continuously striving to enhance the capabilities of all of our products through cutting-edge advancements in production processes. One significant focus that we have taken on is automating the manufacture of our inverters and optimizers.
We invest resources in l automated assembly lines as well as in automated machinery for subassembly and self-manufacturing of certain components used in our products, and we own and are responsible for funding most of the capital expenses related thereto. The current and expected capital expenses associated with these automated assembly lines and other machinery are funded out of our cash flows.
We source our raw materials through various component manufacturers and invest resources in continued cost-reduction efforts as well as verifying second and third sources so as to limit dependence on sole suppliers.
Due to our global presence, we are subject to risk and exposure from the evolving macroeconomic environment. The impact of new or existing tariffs, trade restrictions, or retaliatory actions on our business, the solar industry, and our customers continue to create uncertainty and impact on our operations. We have relocated the majority of our contract manufacturing to the United States, however, certain critical components for our products are still sourced from outside the United States. An escalation in trade tensions or the implementation of broader tariffs, trade restrictions, or retaliatory measures on our products, commodities we require for manufacturing, or components originating from countries outside the United States could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components, manufacture products at competitive cost, or sell our products.

Reliability and Quality Control
Our Power Optimizers are connected to each PV module (or pair of PV modules) by installers, designed to be as reliable as the PV module itself and capable of withstanding the same operating and environmental conditions.
Our reliability methodology includes a multi-level plan with design analysis, sub-system testing of critical components by Accelerated Life Testing, and integrative testing of design prototypes by Highly Accelerated Life Testing and large sample groups. As part of our reliability efforts, we subject components to industry standard conditions and tests including in accelerated life chambers that simulate burn-in, thermal cycling, damp-heat, and other stresses at large sample size groups. For validation purposes, finished products are tested by simulating accelerated aging through the use of Thermal Cycling, Damp Heat, High Temperature Endurance, Vibration, and HALT (Highly accelerated life test) that combines temperature changes and vibration. Specific additional tests have been developed to assess design changes' impact on reliability. We also conduct out of box audits (OBA) on our finished products. In addition, online reliability tests (ORT) are conducted on our optimizers and we test complete products in stress tests and in the field (alpha tests). Our rigorous testing processes have helped us to develop highly reliable products.
In order to verify the quality of each of our products when it leaves the manufacturing plant, each component, sub-assembly, and final product are tested multiple times during production. These tests include Automatic Optical Inspection, In-Circuit Testing, Board-Functional Testing, Safety Testing, and Integrative Stress Testing. We employ a serial number-driven manufacturing process auditing and traceability system that allows us to control production line activities, verify correct manufacturing processes and to achieve item-specific traceability.
As a part of our quality and reliability approach, a portion of failed products from the field are returned and subjected to root cause analysis, the results of which are used to improve our product and manufacturing processes and design and further reduce our field failure rate.
Certifications
Our products and systems comply with the applicable regulatory requirements of the jurisdictions in which they are sold as well as all other major markets around the world. These include safety regulations, cybersecurity standards, electromagnetic compatibility standards and grid compliance.
Research and Development
We devote substantial resources to research and development with the objective of developing new products and systems to our core products, adding new features and reducing unit costs of our products and systems. Our development strategy is to identify software and hardware features, products, and systems that reduce the cost and improve the effectiveness of our solutions for our customers. We measure the effectiveness of our research and development by metrics including product unit cost, efficiency, reliability, power output, and ease of use.
We have a strong research and development team with wide ranging experience in power electronics, semiconductors, power line communications and networking, chemical, mechanical and software engineering. In addition, many members of our research and development team have expertise in solar technologies. As of December 31, 2025 our research and development organization had a headcount of 887 employees.
Intellectual Property
The success of our business depends, in part, on our ability to maintain and protect our proprietary technologies, information, processes, and know-how. We rely primarily on patent, trademark, copyright and trade secrets laws in the U.S. and similar laws in other countries, confidentiality agreements and procedures and other contractual arrangements to protect our technology. As of December 31, 2025, SolarEdge has 518 issued patents worldwide and 219 patent applications pending for examination. A majority of our patents relate to DC power optimization and DC to AC conversion for alternative energy power systems, power system monitoring and control, battery technology and management systems. Our issued patents are scheduled to expire between 2026 and 2044.
11
We continually assess opportunities to seek patent protection for those aspects of our technology, designs, and methodologies and processes that we believe provide significant competitive advantages.
We rely on trade secret protection and confidentiality agreements to safeguard our interests with respect to proprietary know-how that is not patentable and processes for which patents are difficult to enforce. We believe that many elements of our manufacturing processes involve proprietary know-how, technology, or data that are not covered by patents or patent applications, including technical processes, test equipment designs, algorithms, and procedures.
All of our research and development personnel are required to enter into confidentiality and proprietary information agreements with us. These agreements address intellectual property protection issues and require our employees to assign to us all of the inventions, designs, and technologies they develop during the course of employment with us.
Our customers and business partners are required to enter into confidentiality agreements before we disclose any sensitive aspects of our technology or business plans.
Competition
The markets for our smart energy and PV products are competitive, and we compete with providers of smart energy solutions, as well as manufacturers of other PV systems. The principal areas in which we compete with other companies include:
• product and system performance and features;
• total cost of ownership (TCO);
• reliability and duration of product warranty;
• customer service and support;
• breadth of product line;
• technological expertise;
• brand recognition;
• local sales and distribution capabilities;
• compliance with applicable certifications and grid codes;
• ability to optimize for various electricity tariffs and grid service plans;
• product safety features;
• implementation of AI features and solutions;
• size and financial stability of operations; and
• size of installed base.
Recent market trends show an increased focus on safety features in rooftop installations, and the emergence of standards that are evolving to address such concerns. In particular, the rapid shutdown (RSD) standards in the US market, have led to the introduction of module-level rapid-shutdown devices from our competitors. We believe the existence of rapid shutdown capabilities built into our Power Optimizers positions us well in this regard, and serves as a competitive advantage. Additionally, we have seen PV module manufacturers introduce larger PV modules with higher power and current levels. This market trend, which comes as a result of PV cell manufacturers introducing larger cell sizes, bi-facial modules, as well as different module build configurations and materials, leads to market interest in higher power rating Power Optimizers, micro inverters, and other MLPE devices. The increasing demand for storage and battery solutions, in both existing and new sites, is an additional noteworthy market trend which is expected to increase the attachment rate of storage to PV installations in the coming years.
12
Our DC optimized residential system competes principally with solutions from traditional inverter and battery manufacturers, such as Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Sigenergy Technology Co., Ltd., and SMA Solar Technology AG., as well as from other, mostly Chinese inverter manufacturers. In the North American residential market, we compete with manufacturers such as Tesla Inc. with traditional string-based solutions, as well as microinverter manufacturers such as Enphase Energy, Inc. In addition, there are several new entrants to the MLPE market, including low-cost Asian manufacturers; as well as software-based energy management solution providers, mainly in the European market.
Our DC optimized C&I and optimized utility systems compete with solutions from traditional providers of string inverters and batteries, such as SMA Solar Technology AG, Sungrow Power Supply Co., Ltd. Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd, Sigenergy Technology Co., Chint Power Systems America, as well as other C&I battery providers. Our energy management solution also competes with software-based energy management and operations and management platforms and similar platforms by our traditional competitors.
We believe that our DC optimized inverter and battery solutions, alongside our energy management, monitoring, design, and load control functions offer significant technology and cost advantages that reflect a competitive differentiation over traditional inverter systems and microinverter technologies, as well as over software-only solution providers.
Government Incentives
U.S. federal, state, and local government laws, regulations, and bodies as well as non-U.S. government bodies, provide incentives to owners, end users, distributors, and manufacturers of PV and BESS systems to promote solar electricity in the form of rebates, tax credits, lower VAT rate and other financial incentives such as system performance payments, payments for renewable energy credits associated with renewable energy generation, and exclusion of PV systems from property tax assessments. The market for on grid applications, where solar power is used to supplement a customer’s electricity purchased from the utility network or sold to a utility under tariff, often depends in large part on the availability and size of these government subsidies and economic incentives, which vary from time to time by geographic market.
In August 2022, the U.S. government enacted IRA, which contains several provisions intended to accelerate U.S. manufacturing and adoption of clean energy such as solar, wind, hydrogen and electric vehicles and therefore had positive impacts on our business and operations along with the overall U.S. solar market. Some of the applicable provisions in the IRA that are positively impacting the market for renewable energy include the extension of 48E, the tech-neutral investment tax credit (“ITC”), and 45Y, the tech-neutral Production Tax Credit (“PTC"). The IRA includes incentives for residential and commercial solar customers and developers through the inclusion of ITCs for qualifying energy projects of up to 30% with a potential to gain further bonus credits such as through the utilization of Domestic Content.
Section 45X of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), as enacted by the IRA, offers Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits (“AMPTC”s or “45X Credits”) that incentivize the manufacturing of eligible components within the U.S. In light of such incentives, in addition to the benefits to some of our U.S. customers, under the IRA, the Company established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023, and further expanded such capabilities in 2024 and 2025. On October 24, 2024, regulations concerning the application of Section 45X were published by the U.S. Treasury Department which contain detailed rules concerning eligibility, qualifying and accounting for AMPTCs. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. In 2024 and 2025, we sold a significant part of the AMPTCs that we generated from our U.S. production of eligible components. Because these provisions both extend existing law and create new law, guidance concerning their implementation continues to be published by the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service.
To the extent that tax benefits or credits may be impacted through new regulation, issued guidance, interpretation, or by new laws passed by Congress, our business could be disadvantaged or advantaged. We continue to monitor the benefits that may be available to us, such as the availability of tax credits for domestic manufacturers.
13
Impact of the H.R.1 on U.S. Tax Incentives
On July 4, 2025, H.R.1, was enacted into law (“H.R.1.” or the “OBBBA”) introducing amendments to the clean energy tax credits contained in the IRA. The IRA provides energy tax credits that are significant to SolarEdge and its U.S. based customers, and material changes thereto could materially and adversely affect our revenue, our eligibility for certain tax credits, tax credits available to our customers, competitiveness and demand for our products and our financial condition.
H.R.1 accelerates the phase-out timeline for certain credits, eliminates the 25D credit, and imposes new eligibility criteria. H.R.1 does not shorten the term of 45X Credits. Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit and production tax credit under Section 48E and 45Y of the Code, used by customers of SolarEdge who are engaged in third-party ownership (“TPO”) models, such as residential solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027. However, H.R.1 also includes a 12-month period in which such customers can begin construction, giving them four years to complete their projects. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment of H.R.1 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 eliminates the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively affect the overall demand for our products. H.R.1 also amends the domestic content bonus credit rules for Section 48E projects. Projects commencing construction after June 16, 2025 must meet a 45% domestic content threshold, up from 40%. Since January 1, 2026, such threshold was increased to 50% and shall thereafter be further increased by 5% on an annual basis until and including 2029.
In addition, H.R.1 introduced new Foreign Entity of Concern (“FEOC”) requirements for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E of the Code. These restrictions require threshold percentages of non FEOC components that increase over time, beginning January 1, 2026. Currently, We manufacture components aimed to help our customers meet their non-FEOC percentage requirements. However, if Treasury were to release new rules or guidance that impact our ability to provide components with non-FEOC percentages towards their total requirement, our customers’ eligibility to qualify for certain tax credits could be impaired, which may adversely affect our revenue, gross margins, business operations and competitive position. In addition, as of January 1, 2026, in order to receive the 45X Credit manufacturers must also reach a required percentage of non-FEOC content in their manufactured components.
On February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R. 1 related to the Prohibited Foreign Entity rules (PFE) enacted in H.R. 1..Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions related to the Company’s 45X Credit material assistance calculations and its customers 48E material assistance calculation among other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the FEOC requirements or to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations and cash flows.
Trade Regulation and Import Tariffs
Our business activities are subject to numerous laws and regulations in the jurisdictions in which we operate. Particularly, our exports and imports are subject to complex trade and customs laws, tax requirements and tariffs set by governments through mutual agreements or unilateral actions. Countries duties, tariffs or other restrictions on our imports could adversely impact our business. Changes in tax policies or trade regulations, the disallowance of tax deductions on imported merchandise, or the imposition of new tariffs on imported products, could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
We have relocated our contract manufacturing to the United States, where we manufacture the vast bulk of our products. We continue to manufacture a minor portion of our products in Israel, at our Sella 1 facility. Certain critical subcomponents for our products are still sourced from outside the United States. The escalation in trade tensions or the implementation of broader tariffs, trade restrictions or other measures on our products or components or subcomponents originating from countries outside of the United States, could adversely impact our ability to source necessary components or subcomponents, manufacture products at competitive cost, or sell our products at prices customers are willing to pay. In addition, retaliatory measures from other countries on products originating from the United States for export could adversely impact our ability to sell our products at competitive prices in such countries. Certain of the subcomponents used in our products are being imported to the United States from China, which may be subject to significantly increased tariffs. In light of the aforementioned, we continue to adjust our supply chains and are exploring alternative suppliers, however, there is no assurance that we will be successful in identifying suitable alternatives, or that such alternatives, if identified, will not result in increased costs or reduced operational efficiency.
14
The U.S. administration has announced proposed tariffs on products manufactured abroad that are intended to be sold in the U.S. market. Certain other countries have announced reciprocal and retaliatory measures for imports from the U.S. We continue to monitor how this situation could affect our global business operations and manufacturing in various jurisdictions. To the extent that our products or imported components could be subject to U.S. tariffs, our business could be adversely disadvantaged. The U.S. administration has also proposed imposed tariffs on the import of certain goods from China and other countries, which, if implemented could disadvantage some of our competitors.
Seasonality
The solar energy market is subject to seasonal and quarterly fluctuations affected by weather. For example, during the winter months in Europe and the northeastern U.S. where the climate is particularly cold and snowy, it is typical to see a decline in PV installations and this decline can impact the timing of orders for our products.
Sustainable, Responsible and Transparent Business Practices
During 2025, we continued making progress on our commitment to corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) performance and disclosure. Our CSR practices are guided by our mission of furthering our business to accelerate the move to a low-carbon world, powered by a decentralized, distributed, interconnected energy network, where electricity is generated, stored, managed and used in the most optimal manner. We have crafted a comprehensive sustainability strategy spanning various CSR matters. Our seventh annual Sustainability Report, published in 2025, was prepared in reference to leading global sustainability disclosure standards, GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) and SASB (Sustainability Accounting Standards Board). Our sustainability strategy includes the following pillars:
We believe that our sustainability strategy aligns directly with 10 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and our products and activities are most critical to achievement of SDG #7, Affordable Clean Energy.
Human Capital
We believe our success depends on our ability to attract and retain outstanding employees at all levels of our business. As of December 31, 2025, we had 3,576 employees (full time and part time). Of these employees, 887 were engaged in research and development, 399 in sales and marketing, 1,935 in operations, production, quality and reliability, and support, and 355 in general and administrative capacities. Of our employees, 2,134 were based in Israel, 424 were based in India, 355 were based in the U.S., 432 were based in Europe, and 231 were based in the remaining countries in which we operate, including Thailand, Vietnam, Australia, and others.

Risk Factors
Risks related to Our Business and Our Industry
Our ability to be profitable in the future.
We incurred a net loss of $405.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2025 and net loss of $1,806.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Beginning in the third quarter of 2023, we experienced a slowdown in the demand for our products and during the second part of the third quarter of 2023, we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. We continued to experience a slowdown in demand for our products throughout the year ending December 31, 2024. Despite a prolonged softness in demand, in the year ending December 31, 2025, we have seen an increase in sales due to more normalized channel inventory in both the United States and in Europe.
In the future, our revenues may not grow at the pace we anticipate, or may decline for a number of reasons, many of which are outside our control, including a decline in demand for our products, a decrease in the growth of the solar industry, disadvantageous changes to tax law, tax treaties, regulations, and guidance and interpretations related thereto, and business and industry trends including component shortages, increased competition, and supply chain disruptions due to ocean freight capacity, shipping times and port congestions as well as other macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, inflation concerns, rising interest rates and recessionary concerns, or our failure to continue to capitalize on growth opportunities. If we fail to maintain sufficient revenue to support our operations, we may not be able to reach or sustain profitability.
In addition, we expect to incur additional costs and expenses related to the continued development, divestiture from businesses, expansion of our business, ongoing marketing, developing our products, development of our own manufacturing facilities, expanding into new product markets, maintaining and enhancing our research and development operations and hiring additional personnel. We do not know whether our revenues will grow rapidly enough to absorb these costs, or the extent of these expenses or their impact on the results of our operations.
18
The rapidly evolving and competitive nature of the solar industry makes it difficult to evaluate our future prospects.
The rapidly evolving and competitive nature of the solar industry makes it difficult to evaluate our current business and future prospects. In addition, we have limited insight into emerging trends that may adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The viability and demand for our products and services may be affected by many factors beyond our control, including:
• prices of traditional carbon-based energy sources;
Changes in tax laws, tax treaties, regulations, guidance or the interpretation of them, including the Inflation Reduction Act and the OBBBA
National, state and local government bodies in many countries, including the United States, have provided incentives in the form of rebates, tax credits, feed-in tariffs and others to manufacturers, system owners, distributors and installers of PV systems and battery energy storage systems.
In August 2022, the IRA was signed into federal law. The IRA provides for, among other things, certain incentives, including certain tax credits, for solar energy, that are significant to the Company and its U.S. based customers. On July 4, 2025, H.R.1 was enacted into law, introducing amendments to clean energy tax credits contained in the IRA. The H.R.1 accelerates the phase-out timeline for our customers' tax credits and imposes new eligibility criteria for the Company and our customers.
The Company has invested significant resources in establishing our manufacturing presence in the U.S. to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA, including tax credits available to us for manufacturing in the U.S. and tax credits available to certain of our U.S. customers. The Company established manufacturing capabilities in the U.S. in 2023 and further expanded such capabilities in 2024 and 2025. Moreover, we incorporate into our financial planning and agreements with our customers and suppliers certain assumptions regarding U.S. tax incentives. Material changes thereto could adversely affect our revenue, our eligibility for certain tax credits, tax credits available to our customers, competitiveness and demand for our products and our financial condition.
Section 45X of the Code, as enacted by the IRA, offers AMPTCs that incentivize the manufacturing of eligible components within the U.S. Of particular relevance to the Company are the tax credits that we generate as a result of rules concerning the qualification and measurement of AMPTCs to Residential Inverters, Commercial Inverters and DC-Optimized Inverter Systems that we manufacture in the United States. H.R.1 preserved the length of the term of such AMPTCs.
Among other changes, H.R.1 shortens the term of the investment tax credit and production tax credit under Section 48E and 45Y of the Code, available to the Company’s customers, who are engaged in TPO models, such as residential solar leases and power purchase agreements, and commercial solar customers and developers, shortening the end date from 2034 to 2027. H.R.1 also includes a 12-month window in which such customers can begin construction, giving them four years to complete their projects. Projects begun after twelve months from enactment of H.R.1 must be placed in service by December 31, 2027, to receive the credit. H.R.1 also amended the domestic content bonus credit rules for Section 48E projects: projects commencing construction after June 16, 2025 must meet a 45% domestic content threshold, up from 40%, must meet a 50% threshold from and after January 1, 2026, and the threshold thereafter increases by 5% on an annual basis until 2029. H.R.1 eliminated the individual residential tax credit under Section 25D of the Code at the end of 2025. These changes may negatively impact the eligibility of our customers and individuals to obtain tax credits, which may negatively affect the overall demand for our products.
19
H.R.1 has also introduced new FEOC requirements including for Sections 45X, 45Y, and 48E of the Code. These restrictions will require threshold percentages of non-FEOC material assistance that increase over time, for projects that begin on or after January 1, 2026. On July 7, 2025, the President issued an Executive Order titled “Ending Market Distorting Subsidies for Unreliable, Foreign Controlled Energy Sources.” In response, on August 15, 2025, the U.S. Treasury Department released IRS Notice 2025-42, its first set of guidance for H.R. 1 related to beginning of construction requirements applicable to our customers. While it removed the ability for projects over 1.5 MW to utilize the 5% safe harbor method, it kept in place the offsite physical work test method for all size projects.
On February 12, 2026, the U.S Department of Treasury and IRS released IRS Notice 2026-15 providing additional guidance on H.R.1 related to the Prohibited Foreign Entity rules (PFE) enacted in H.R. 1..Specifically, this notice confirms the ability to rely on temporary safe harbor tables and existing safe harbor tables for the determination of material assistance from a PFE. This guidance provides answers to several compliance questions related to the Company’s 45X Credit material assistance calculations and its customers 48E material assistance calculation among other things. While this removed some uncertainty around the Material Assistance Cost Ratio calculation, impending Notice of Proposed Rule and Final Rule on this same topic expected later this year could create challenges for the Company to meet the FEOC requirements or to assist our customers in meeting them. If we are unable to meet the requirements this may adversely affect our revenue, or our customers eligibility to obtain certain tax credits, the overall demand for our products, our results of operations and cash flows.
We expect that the AMPTCs will be phased out by the end of 2031. Reductions in AMPTCs, without an offsetting reduction in our manufacturing costs, would adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows, and have an adverse impact on our gross margin, which may include transitioning into a gross loss. Such reductions may cause us to consider modifying the geographical footprint of our manufacturing to reduce our costs, which would require significant resources of the Company, and could adversely affect our competitiveness, business and financial condition.
Unfavorable regulatory treatment, guidance, interpretation, expiration of or changes to the benefits made available, which we relied upon in structuring certain projects and investments, or any adverse impacts on our ability to increase production in the U.S. in a timely manner to benefit from the incentives available under the IRA and H.R.1., could adversely impact our business and financial condition.
The U.S. Administration and to a lesser extent, portions of the European Union, have expressed a prioritization of fossil fuels over renewable energy. For example, in Germany there is a discussion regarding the possibility of reducing small residential customer’s feed-in tariffs. If successful, certain of these legislative actions could further slow the solar market potentially resulting in adverse effects on overall demand for our products, impacts to our revenue, operations and cash flows.
Demand for solar energy solutions fluctuates, and if demand for solar energy solutions does not resume growth or grows at a slower rate than anticipated,or if we are unable to accurately forecast customer demand, our business and results of operations will suffer.
Our revenues are primarily derived from products utilized in PV installations. Thus, our future success depends on continued demand for solar energy solutions and our ability, and the the ability of vendors to meet this demand. The solar industry is an evolving industry that has experienced substantial changes in recent years, and we cannot be certain that consumers, businesses, or utilities will adopt PV systems as an alternative energy source at levels sufficient to grow our business. If demand for solar energy solutions fails to continue to develop sufficiently, demand for our products and services will decrease, resulting in an adverse impact on our ability to increase our revenue and grow our business.
Additionally, there is fluctuating demand for solar energy solutions and we manufacture our products according to our estimate of future customer demand. We have experienced, and may in the future continue to experience, excess or shortages of product inventory as a result. This process requires us to make multiple forecasts and assumptions relating to the demand of our distributors, their end customers and general market conditions. As we sell most of our products to distributors, who in turn sell to their end customers, we have limited visibility as to end-customer demand. We depend significantly on our distributors to provide us visibility into their end-customer demand, and we use these forecasts to make our own forecasts and planning decisions. If the information from our distributors turns out to be incorrect or incomplete, then our own forecasts may also be inaccurate. Furthermore, we do not have long-term purchase commitments with most of our distributors or end customers, and our sales are generally made by purchase orders that may be canceled, changed or deferred without notice to us or penalty. As a result, it is difficult to forecast future customer demand to plan our operations.
20
The cancellation or deferral of product orders, or overproduction due to a change in anticipated order volumes could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. For example, in the second part of 2023, the solar industry began to experience a downturn, particularly in Europe, and we experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and push outs of existing backlog from our European distributors. This was a result of operational challenges in the later part of 2022, followed by record level shipments in the first half of 2023, slowing market demand in the third quarter of 2023, and which continued through the year ending December 31, 2024, as distributors began to experience financial challenges. In November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, following a major liquidity crisis, leading to cancellations of orders. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. Additionally, uncertainty related to changes in tariffs, trade policies, legislation, and guidance including from H.R.1, may further contribute to market volatility and adversely impact customer demand for our products, pricing and our financial performance. We may have to make significant provisions for inventory write-downs based on events that are currently not known, and such provisions or any adjustments to such provisions could be material. We may also become involved in disputes with our suppliers who may claim that we failed to fulfill forecast or minimum purchase requirements.
Conversely, if we underestimate demand, we may not have sufficient inventory to meet end-customer demand, and we may incur excess costs related to expedited deliveries, lose market share, damage relationships with our distributors and end customers, harm our reputation and forego potential revenue opportunities. Obtaining additional supply in the face of product shortages may be costly or impossible, particularly in light of supply chain disruptions and our outsourced manufacturing processes, which could prevent us from fulfilling orders in a timely and cost-efficient manner or at all. In addition, if we overestimate our production requirements, our contract manufacturers may purchase excess components and build excess inventory. If our contract manufacturers, at our request, purchase excess components that are unique to our products and are unable to recoup the costs of such excess through resale or return or build excess products, we could be required to pay for these excess parts or products and recognize related inventory write-downs.
In addition, we plan our operating expenses, including research and development expenses, hiring needs and inventory investments, in part on our estimates of customer demand and future revenue. If customer demand or revenue for a particular period is lower than we expect, we may not be able to proportionately reduce our fixed operating expenses for that period, which would harm our operating results for that period.
Macroeconomic conditions in our domestic and international markets, as well as inflation concerns, instability of financial institutions, rising interest rates, and recessionary concerns may adversely affect our industry, business and financial results.
Our business depends on the overall demand for our solar energy products and on the economic health and willingness of our customers and potential customers to make capital commitments to purchase our products and services. As a result of macroeconomic or market uncertainty, including inflation concerns, rising interest rates, recessionary concerns, and geopolitical conflicts, customers may decide to delay purchasing our products and services or not purchase at all. In addition, a number of the risks associated with our business, which are disclosed in these risk factors, may increase in likelihood, magnitude or duration, and we may face new risks that we have not yet identified.
In the past, unfavorable macroeconomic and market conditions have resulted in sustained periods of decreased demand. Macroeconomic and market conditions could be adversely affected by a variety of political, economic or other factors in the U.S., Europe, and international markets, which could, in turn, adversely affect spending levels of installers and end users and could create volatility or deteriorating conditions in the markets in which we operate. Macroeconomic uncertainty or weakness could result in:
• the introduction of any disadvantageous trade regulations and import tariffs;
• decrease in the popularity of solar energy as a green energy solution;
21
• increased overhead and production costs as a percentage of revenue.
Reductions in customer spending in response to unfavorable or uncertain macroeconomic and market conditions, globally or in a particular region where we operate, would adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A drop in the retail price of electricity derived from the utility grid or from alternative energy sources may harm our business, financial condition, results of operations, and prospects.
Decreases in the retail prices of electricity from the utility grid, or other renewable energy resources, would make the purchase of PV systems less economically attractive and would likely lower sales of our products. The price of electricity derived from the utility grid could decrease as a result of:
• utility rate adjustment and customer class cost reallocation;
Moreover, technological developments in the PV and solar components industry could allow our competitors and their customers to offer electricity at lower costs than those that we can offer to our customers, which could result in reduced demand for our products. If the cost of electricity generated by PV installations incorporating our systems is high relative to the cost of electricity from other sources, our business, financial condition, and results of operations may be negatively impacted.
An increase in interest rates or tightening of the supply of capital in the global financial markets could make it difficult for end-users to finance the cost of a PV system and could reduce the demand for smart energy products and thus the demand for our products.
Many end-users depend on financing to fund the initial capital expenditure required to develop, build, or purchase a PV system. An increase in interest rates or a reduction in the supply of project debt financing or tax equity investments, could reduce the number of solar projects that receive financing or otherwise make it difficult for our customers or the end-users to secure the financing necessary to develop, build, purchase, or install a PV system on favorable terms, or at all, and thus lower demand for our products which could limit our growth or reduce our net sales. In addition, we believe that a significant percentage of end-users install PV systems as an investment, funding the initial capital expenditure through financing. An increase in interest rates could lower such end-user’s return on investment on a PV system, increase equity return requirements or make alternative investments more attractive relative to PV systems, and, in each case, could cause such end-users to seek alternative investments. During 2022 and 2023, record levels of inflation resulted in significant volatility and disruptions in the global economy. In response to rising inflation, central banks in the markets in which we operate, including the U.S. Federal Reserve and the European Central Bank, tightened their monetary policies and raised interest rates. Such measures have adversely impacted the demand for our products and may continue if there is a period of sustained heightened inflation.
22
The market for our products is highly competitive and we expect to face increased competition as new and existing competitors introduce power optimizers, EV chargers, inverters, PV system monitoring, batteries and other smart energy products, which could negatively affect our results of operations and market share.
The market for PV solutions is highly competitive and increasing competition may adversely affect our market share, revenues, gross margins, and profitability. We principally compete with traditional inverter manufacturers, microinverter manufacturers, and emerging MLPE technology providers. Our DC optimized inverter system competes with products from these traditional competitors as well as new entrants offering alternative MLPE technologies. Over the last years, several new entrants to the inverter and MLPE market, including low-cost Asian manufacturers, have entered, announced, or expanded into markets in which we sell our products, including, with respect to sales in the U.S., Australia, and in Europe. We expect competition to intensify as new and existing competitors enter the market. Increasing competition is being driven by evolving safety standards, the emergence of higher‐power PV modules, rising demand for storage solutions, and the entry of additional MLPE, inverter, battery, and software‐based energy‐management providers across our key markets, across both our residential and C&I markets.. If these technologies are successful in offering a price competitive and technological attractive solution to the PV market, this could make it more difficult for us to maintain market share.
Several of our existing and potential competitors have the financial resources or have received financial resources or benefit from government subsidies or state‐supported financing, in order to offer competitive products at aggressive or below-market pricing levels, which could cause us to lose sales or market share or require us to lower prices for our products in order to compete effectively. Specifically, competition from Chinese state owned or financed companies pose pricing pressure on us and may exacerbate regional market volatility. If we have to reduce our prices more than anticipated, or if we are unable to offset any future reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volume, reducing our costs and expenses or introducing new products, our revenues and gross profit would suffer.
In addition, competitors may be able to develop new technologies or products more quickly than us, may partner with other competitors to provide combined technologies and competing solutions and may be able to develop products that are more reliable or that provide more functionality than ours.
Developments in alternative technologies or improvements in distributed solar energy generation may have a material adverse effect on demand for our offerings.
Significant developments in alternative technologies, such as advances in other forms of distributed PV power generation, storage solutions, such as batteries, the widespread use or adoption of fuel cells for residential or commercial properties or improvements in other forms of centralized power production, may have a material adverse effect on our business and prospects. Any failure by us to adopt new or enhanced technologies, processes, or to react to changes in existing technologies, could result in product obsolescence, the loss of competitiveness of our products, decreases in our revenue, and a loss of market share to competitors.
The solar industry has historically been cyclical and experienced periodic downturns.
Our future success partly depends on continued demand for PV systems in the end-markets we serve, including the residential and commercial sectors in the U.S., Europe and additional international markets. The solar industry has historically been cyclical and has experienced periodic downturns which have affected and may in the future affect demand for our products. The solar industry has undergone challenging business conditions in past years, including downward pricing pressure for PV modules, mainly as a result of overproduction, and reductions in applicable governmental subsidies, contributing to demand decreases. For example, since the second part of 2023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2025 the solar industry experienced a downturn, which persists. This downturn initially led to a large amount of requests to cancel or push out orders during 2023 and into 2024, and the buildup of a significant backlog for our products.In the second half of 2023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2025, with a downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market have announced exiting the solar market and others have shown signs of financial distress. For example, in November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas, following a major liquidity crisis. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. There is no assurance that the solar industry will not suffer additional significant downturns in the future, which will adversely affect demand for our solar products and our results of operations.
23
Defects or performance problems in our products could result in loss of customers, reputational damage, and decreased revenue, and we may face warranty, indemnity, and product liability claims arising from defective products.
Although our products meet our stringent quality requirements, they may contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new generations are released. Errors, defects, or poor performance can arise due to design flaws, defects in raw materials or components or manufacturing difficulties, which can affect both the quality and the yield of the product. Any actual or perceived errors, defects, or poor performance in our products could result in the replacement or recall of our products or components thereof, shipment delays, rejection of our products, damage to our reputation, lost revenue, diversion of our personnel from our product development efforts, and increases in customer service and support costs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Furthermore, defective components may give rise to warranty, indemnity, or product liability claims against us that exceed any revenue or profit we receive from the affected products. In most cases, we offer a 12-year limited warranty for our inverters, extendable to twenty-five years for an additional cost, a 25-year limited warranty for our power optimizers and a 10-year limited warranty for our residential batteries and storage solutions. Our limited warranties cover defects in materials and workmanship of our products under normal use and service conditions; therefore, we bear the risk of warranty claims long after we have sold products and recognized revenue. While we do have accrued reserves for warranty claims, our estimated warranty costs for previously sold products may change to the extent future products are not compatible with earlier generation products under warranty. Our warranty accruals are based on our assumptions and in some cases we do not have a long history of making such assumptions. These assumptions could prove to be materially different from the actual performance of our systems, or from claims made by installers, customers or end users, causing us to incur substantial unanticipated expenses to repair or replace defective products in the future or to compensate customers for defective products. Our failure to accurately predict future claims could result in unexpected volatility in, and have a material adverse effect on, our financial condition. In particular, our commercial CSS-OD batteries are relatively new to the market, and our operational experience in servicing these products is still developing.
If one of our products were to cause injury to someone or cause property damage, or in the event that a claim is made alleging false or misleading advertisement, unfair competition or other consumer related claims, we could potentially be exposed to product liability claims and lawsuits which could result in significant costs and liabilities if damages are awarded against us. Further, any product liability claim we face could be expensive to defend and could divert management’s attention. Even in litigation where we believe our liability is remote, there is a risk that a negative finding or decision in a matter involving multiple plaintiffs or a purported class action could have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations or financial condition.
The successful assertion of a product liability claim against us could result in potentially significant monetary damages, penalties or fines, subject us to adverse publicity, damage our reputation and competitive position, and adversely affect sales of our products. In addition, product liability claims, injuries, defects, or other problems experienced by other companies in the residential solar industry could lead to unfavorable market conditions for the industry as a whole.
Changes in our geographic footprint or product and service offerings may subject us to additional business, operational, financial, competitive, and compliance risks.
In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. As such, we are focusing on markets where we believe we will recognize the most opportunity. We have in the past, and may in the future, evaluate opportunities to leave geographic markets if they are not profitable or expand into new geographic markets and introduce new product offerings and services. We may sell subsidiaries, business, or disengage with product lines in order to further our focus on our core business and as a cost-reduction effort. We may also engage in acquisitions of businesses or product lines with the potential to strengthen and expand our market position, technological capabilities, or provide synergy opportunities.
Throughout the last years, we have divested from certain businesses and markets in order to focus on our core business. In October 2023, the Company decided to discontinue its LCV e-Mobility activity. In November 2024, the Company decided to discontinue its Energy Storage business related to the manufacture of batteries, mainly at our Sella2 location in South Korea in order to focus on the Company's core solar business. On September 4, 2025, as part of the decision to close our Energy Storage Division, we sold our last battery cell manufacturing facility in South Korea. In April 2025, we divested from our PV tracker business, as part of our effort to focus on our core activities. Our divestiture from any market or business has costs, could result in us holding excess or obsolete inventory, which could result in inventory write-downs and, in turn, could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition. Our divestiture from any geographic markets may involve significant operational, legal, and financial risks. Decisions to discontinue operations in a region—whether due to unfavorable regulatory changes, sustained decreases in demand, macroeconomic deterioration, or shifts in strategic priorities could result in the loss of established customer relationships, impairment of long‐lived assets, and increased costs associated with contract terminations, workforce reductions, or regulatory compliance. Additionally, withdrawal from a market may adversely affect our brand reputation, limit future growth opportunities in that region, and increase the complexity of managing our global operations, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
24
Our successful operation in any market, including those we exit, re-enter, or any acquired business, will depend on a number of factors, including our ability to develop solutions to address the requirements of the homeowners, regulators, large commercial and utility-scale PV markets, timely certification of new products for large commercial and utility-scale PV installations, acceptance of power optimizers in PV markets in which they have not traditionally been used, and our ability to manage increased manufacturing capacity and production and to identify and integrate any acquired businesses.
Further, we expect PV markets and additional markets that we have entered, exited, or may enter into, to have different characteristics from the markets in which we currently sell our products. Our success will depend on our ability to properly adapt to these differences, which include differing regulatory requirements, such as tax laws, trade laws, labor regulations, tariffs, export quotas, customs duties, or other trade restrictions, limited or unfavorable intellectual property protection, international, political or economic conditions, restrictions on the repatriation of earnings, longer sales cycles, warranty expectations, product return policies and cost, and performance and compatibility requirements. In addition, expanding into new geographic markets will increase our exposure to existing risks, such as fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies and increased expenses in complying with U.S. and foreign laws, regulations and trade standards, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended (the “FCPA”).
Failure to successfully develop and introduce new products, successfully integrate acquired businesses, or to otherwise manage the risks and challenges associated with our potential expansion into new product and geographic markets, could adversely affect our revenues and our ability to sustain profitability.
We depend upon a small number of outside contract manufacturers. Our operations could be disrupted if we encounter problems with these contract manufacturers, including difficulties ramping production with new contract manufacturers.
While we manufacture a small portion of our products in Israel, we heavily rely upon our contract manufacturers to manufacture most of our products. We mainly rely on two contract manufacturers. Any change in our relationship or contractual terms with our contract manufacturers, or changes in our contract manufacturers’ ability to comply with their contractual obligations could adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Our reliance on a small number of contract manufacturers makes us vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields and costs. Even though we also manufacture in our facilities in Israel, the expected production volumes will not be sufficient to relieve our significant dependence on our contract manufacturers. In addition, we remain heavily dependent on suppliers of the subcomponents and components needed for our manufacturing.
The revenues that our contract manufacturers generate from our orders represent a relatively small percentage of their overall revenues. Therefore, fulfilling our orders may not be considered a priority in the event of constrained ability to fulfill all of their customer obligations in a timely manner.
If either of our contract manufacturers were unable or unwilling to manufacture our products in required volumes and at high quality levels or continue to supply under existing terms, we would have to identify, qualify, and select acceptable alternative contract manufacturers, which may not be available to us when needed or may be unable to satisfy our quality or production requirements on commercially reasonable terms. Any significant interruption in manufacturing would require us to reduce our supply of products to our customers or increase our shipping costs to make up for delays in manufacturing, which in turn could reduce our revenues, harm our relationships with our customers, subject us to liquidated damages for late deliveries, and damage our reputation with local installers and potential end-users, all of which will cause us to forego potential revenue opportunities.
Further, the ramping up of a new contract manufacturer is time consuming and draining on the resources of our operations team. For example, in light of the IRA, a law in the United States that incentivizes the local manufacturing of renewable energy products by providing benefits to installers for the purchase and installation of U.S.-manufactured products as well as by incentivizing manufacturers of such products domestically, we have engaged two contract manufacturers in the U.S. Our ability to ramp up production with these contract manufacturers in a timely manner, and to realize the benefits from the IRA as planned, is dependent upon supply times of equipment deliveries and readiness of the assembly lines, recruitment and training of the necessary work force, ramp up of the assembly lines and the quality of the initial production.
25
We may experience delays, disruptions, or quality control problems in our manufacturing operations.
Our product development, manufacturing, and testing processes are complex and require significant technological and production process expertise involving several precise steps from design to production. Any change in our processes could cause one or more production errors, requiring a temporary suspension or delay in our production line until the errors can be identified and properly rectified. This may occur particularly as we introduce new products, modify our engineering and production techniques, and/or expand our capacity. In addition, our failure to maintain appropriate quality assurance processes could result in increased product failures, loss of customers, increased warranty reserve, increased costs and delays, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
We depend on a limited number of suppliers for key components and raw materials in our products to adequately meet anticipated demand. Due to the limited number of such suppliers, any changes or shortages in raw materials or key components we use could result in sales delays, higher costs associated with air shipments, cancellations, and loss of market share.
We depend on limited or single source suppliers for certain key components and raw materials used to manufacture our products, making us susceptible to quality issues, shortages and price changes. Any of these limited or single source suppliers could stop supplying, or offering at commercially reasonable prices, our components or raw materials, cease operations or be acquired by, or enter into exclusive arrangements with our competitors. Moreover, we rely on suppliers in China for certain key subcomponents or components, and rising tensions between China and other countries could damage our relationships with these suppliers. It may be difficult to timely identify and/or qualify alternate suppliers on commercially reasonable terms; therefore, our ability to satisfy customer demand may be adversely affected. Transitioning to a new supplier or redesigning a product to accommodate a new component manufacturer would result in additional costs and delays that could harm our business or financial performance.
In addition, given our dependence on suppliers in China, changes in international trade policies, tariffs, or trade disputes could significantly and adversely affect our business, revenues, margins, results of operations, and cash flows.
Managing our supplier and contractor relationships is particularly difficult when we are introducing new products. For example, as we began to ramp assembly and production of residential and commercial batteries we became heavily reliant on new third-party suppliers that needed to be approved through rigorous testing and validation processes for use in our supply chain. Once selected, it is time consuming and costly to replace such vendors. Any delay or shortage of supply or inability to deliver the components to our manufacturing facilities could harm our business or financial performance.
Any interruption in the supply of limited source components or raw materials for our products would adversely affect our ability to meet scheduled product deliveries to our customers and could result in lost revenue or higher expenses associated with increased air shipments required to meet customer demand in a timely manner and would harm our business.
Changing political and geopolitical conditions could adversely impact our business, our financial results, and the global energy market.
Changes in the political conditions in markets in which we manufacture, sell, or distribute our products, as well as changing geopolitical conditions, may be difficult to predict and may adversely affect our business, operations, and financial results. Results of elections, referendums, the implementation of trade restrictions, sanctions or other political processes and pressures in certain markets in which our products are manufactured, sold or distributed have created and could continue to create uncertainty regarding how existing governmental policies, laws and regulations may change, including with respect to sanctions, taxes, tariffs, import and export controls and the general movement of goods, materials, services, capital, data and people between countries. The potential implications of such uncertainty, which include, among others, exchange rate fluctuations, variability, and unpredictability in trade relations such as U.S. trade relations, new or increased tariffs, trade barriers and market contraction, could adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and cash flows.
For example the conflict that began between Russia and Ukraine in late February 2022 may lead to disruptions to our supply-chain and logistics. Specifically, the conflict may disrupt the transit of goods by train from China to Europe, resulting in an increase in prices of certain raw materials that we use in the manufacture of our products. In addition, the governments of the U.S., the European Union, Japan and other jurisdictions announced sanctions on certain industry sectors and parties in Russia and the regions of Donetsk and Luhansk, as well as enhanced export controls on certain products and industries. These and any additional sanctions, as well as any counter responses by the governments of Russia or other jurisdictions, could adversely affect the global financial markets generally and levels of economic activity as well as increase financial markets volatility and any additional measures or sanctions, as well as the resulting rise in prices of oil and certain raw materials sourced in Russia may disrupt our business and results of operations and/or adversely affect the pricing of our products.

We rely on distributors and large installers to assist in selling our products, and the failure of these customers to perform as expected could reduce our future revenues.
Our customers’ decisions to purchase our products are influenced by several factors outside of our control. The agreements we have with some of our largest customers do not have long-term purchase commitments and are generally cancellable by either party after a relatively short notice period. The loss of, or events affecting, one or more of these customers could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations (see Note 2.aa to our consolidated financial statements).
In addition, we do not have exclusive arrangements with our third-party distributors and large installers, many of which also market and sell products from our competitors. These distributors and large installers may terminate their relationships with us at any time and with little or no notice. Further, these distributors and large installers may fail to devote resources necessary to sell our products at the prices, in the volumes, and within the time frames that we expect, or may focus their marketing and sales efforts on products of our competitors. Termination of agreements with current distributors or large installers, failure by these distributors or large installers to perform as expected, or failure by us to cultivate new distributor or large installer relationships, could hinder our ability to expand our operations and could negatively impact our revenue and results of operations.
In the second half of 2023, throughout 2024, and throughout 2025, with a downturn of the renewable energy demand, some players in the market have announced exiting the solar market and others have shown signs of financial distress. For example, in November 2025, Posigen, Inc., a customer of ours, announced that it filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the Southern District of Texas.. Some of our customers and some installers who purchase our products from distributors have shown signs of financial distress and some have requested and received extended payment terms or loans from us. If these installers and distributors become insolvent or if some of their customers fail to pay our distributors for products sold by such distributors, we may need to write off some of their debt to us and we may suffer harm to our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
Mergers in the solar industry among our current or potential customers may adversely affect our competitive position.
There have been consolidation activities among distributors, large installers, and other strategic partners in the solar industry. For example in SunPower Inc. a solar technology, services and installation company acquired Sunder Energy, a leading residential solar sales company, in September 2025. In November 2025, Sun Power Inc also acquired Ambia Solar, a residential solar installation company. Additionally, in September 2025, Solaris Assets, LLC, and certain of its affiliates acquired substantially all the assets and business operations of Sunnova Energy International Inc., a residential solar and battery storage services company. If consolidations persist in the solar industry, our customers may be impacted, as we may increase our reliance on a small number of customers for a significant portion of our sales and may negatively impact our competitive position in the solar market.
Our ability to implement our new ERP system could adversely impact our business and operations.
We rely extensively on information systems and technology to manage our business and summarize operating results. We substantially completed the implementation of our new global ERP system during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2025. We are performing our post-implementation activities. The implementation of that ERP system is expected to, among other things, improve user access security and automate a number of accounting, back office and reporting processes and activities, thereby decreasing the amount of manual processes previously required. The implementation resulted in, and the post-implementation activities may result in, changes to certain of our processes and procedures. These changes have been and will continue to be subject to our evaluation of the operating effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting. The ERP system is designed to accurately maintain the Company’s financial records, enhance operational functionality and provide timely information to the Company’s management team related to the operation of the business. The ERP system implementation process has required, and will continue to require, the investment of significant personnel and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully complete the implementation of our ERP system without experiencing delays, increased costs and other difficulties. If we are unable to successfully design and utilize the new ERP system as planned, our financial positions, results of operations and cash flows could be negatively impacted. Additionally, if we do not effectively utilize the ERP system as planned or the ERP system does not operate as intended, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting could be adversely affected or our ability to assess those controls adequately could be delayed.

We have discontinued our e-Mobility business, energy storage business, and PV Tracker business, resulting in the write-off of tangible and intangible assets.
In October 2023, the Company decided to discontinue its LCV e-Mobility activity related to the supply of products to its sole customer, Stellantis. Our e-Mobility business does not have projects in the pipeline, and we do not plan to engage additional customers or generate revenues from the e-Mobility business. We have therefore discontinued this business. In November 2024, the Company announced that it intends to discontinue its Energy Storage business related to the manufacture of batteries, mainly at our Sella 2 location in South Korea in order to focus on the Company's core solar business. On September 4, 2025, as part of the decision to close our Energy Storage Division, we sold our last battery cell manufacturing facility in South Korea. During December 2025, the Company decided to undertake actions necessary to substantially complete the liquidation process of SolarEdge Technologies Korea Co., Ltd. In April 2025, we divested from our PV tracker business, as part of our effort to focus on our core activities.
In the year ended December 31, 2023, we impaired tangible assets including machinery and inventory write-off related to our e-Mobility business. In the year ending December 31, 2024 we impaired goodwill and intangible assets and inventory write-off relating to our and Energy Storage Division. In the year ending December 31, 2025, we impaired our e-Mobility and Energy Storage held-for-sale assets to its fair value and did not impair any goodwill or intangible assets. Any future impairment charges could have a negative impact on our operating results and related financial statements.
Our ability to successfully operate our global operations with a reduced work force
The workforce reductions we have implemented as part of our Restructuring Plans may negatively impact our ability to attract, integrate, retain and motivate highly qualified employees, may harm our reputation with current or prospective employees, may cause disruption to our business and result in the loss of institutional knowledge, and may impede the execution of our day-to-day operations and affect our ability to execute our business strategy. Under the Restructuring Plans, the Company reduced its workforce globally, throughout the last two years, through involuntary workforce reductions in order to better align the Company with current market conditions.
We may not realize expected benefits from our cost reduction and restructuring efforts, and our profitability or our business otherwise might be adversely affected.
In order to operate more efficiently and cost effectively, we have, and we may from time to time, adjust employment levels, optimize our footprint and/or implement other restructuring activities. For example, in January, July, and November 2024, as well as January 2025, we announced adoption of a restructuring plan in response to challenging industry conditions, including a reduction in workforce. In 2025, we began to strategically focus on our core markets and product lines to better align resources with markets and product lines that exhibit the strongest potential. As part of this strategic portfolio rationalization, we are concentrating our operations in key jurisdictions while discontinuing local activities in certain countries. These activities are complex and may involve or require significant changes to our operations. If we do not successfully manage these activities, expected efficiencies and benefits might be delayed or not realized. Risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues include: unfavorable political responses and reputational harm; unforeseen delays in the implementation of the restructuring activities; additional costs; adverse effects on employee morale; the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees or work stoppages; and difficulty managing our operations during or after facility consolidations, any of which may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions, harm our business or reputation, or have a material adverse effect on our competitive position, results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
28
Any unauthorized access to, disclosure, or theft of confidential or personal information we gather, store, or use could harm our reputation and subject us to claims or litigation.
Our business and operations may be impacted by cybersecurity incidents data security breaches and cybersecurity attacks, including attempts to gain unauthorized access to confidential data. We receive, store, and use certain personal information of our employees, customers, and the end-users of our customers’ PV systems. We may also share information with contractors and third-party providers to conduct our business. Although such contractors and third-party providers typically implement encryption and authentication technologies to secure the transmission and storage of data, those third-party providers may experience a significant data security breach, which may also detrimentally affect our business, results of operations, and financial condition. Our end-user product installations are monitored and supported remotely by our SAAS-based monitoring service. Our business, products, and operations may be impacted by attempts to interrupt our monitoring capabilities or attempts to interrupt the normal operation of existing installations, which could also affect electric grid operations. Our business operations, including manufacturing, shipments and sales may be materially impacted by attempts to sabotage the operations. Our ongoing business in all departments is dependent upon digital technology and use of computers for daily use and may be materially affected by attempts to disrupt our networks.
As detailed in Item 1C. - Cybersecurity, we take steps to protect the security, integrity, and confidentiality of our data, products, and the personal information we process; however, we have been subject to cybersecurity attacks, cyber incidents, and other information technology system disruptions in the past and there is no guarantee that inadvertent or unauthorized access, use or disclosure or cybersecurity incident, in each case, which could have material impact on us, will not occur despite our efforts. As such, while we have not experienced a material cybersecurity incident to date, a material cybersecurity incident could materially affect the integrity of our information systems, products, operations and production, including our ability to produce goods or provide services and our ability to timely and accurately produce financial reports. In addition, because techniques used to obtain unauthorized access or sabotage systems change frequently and generally are not identified until after they are launched against a target, we and our suppliers or vendors may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative or mitigatory measures.
Unauthorized use or disclosure of, or access to, any personal information maintained by us or on our behalf, whether through breach of our systems, breach of the systems of our suppliers or vendors by an unauthorized third party, or through employee or contractor error, theft or misuse, or otherwise, could harm our business, particularly in light of the European General Data Protection Regulation, the California Consumer Privacy Act, and other state and federal laws in the U.S., and global laws which are already in effect or are coming into effect between 2024 and 2026. If any such unauthorized use manipulation, corruption, loss, or disclosure of, or access to, such personal information were to occur, our operations could be seriously disrupted, including the inability to render services due to system outages, and we could be subject to demands, claims and litigation by private parties, and investigations, related actions, and penalties by regulatory authorities. In addition, we could incur significant costs in notifying affected persons and entities and otherwise complying with the multitude of foreign, federal, state, and local laws and regulations relating to the unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, personal information. Any perceived or actual unauthorized access to, or use or disclosure of, such information could harm our reputation, substantially impair our ability to attract and retain customers, and have an adverse impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations. Any of the foregoing may be exacerbated by a delay or failure to detect a cybersecurity incident or the full extent of such incident. We may be required to incur significant costs to analyze any such event and to protect against damage caused by these disruptions or security breaches in the future. In addition, our liability insurance, which includes cyber insurance, might not be sufficient in type or amount to cover us against claims related to security incidents, cyberattacks and other related incidents.
Attempts by third parties, our employees, or our vendors might gain unauthorized access to our network or seek to compromise our products and services.
Our products and services involve the storage, handling, and transmission of proprietary and other sensitive information. Malicious software such as viruses, software bugs, theft, misuse, defects, vulnerabilities in our products and services, as well as cyber attacks, phishing schemes, and other types of security breaches expose us to a risk of loss or improper use and disclosure of such information, which could result in litigation and other potential liabilities, including regulatory fines and penalties, as well as reputational harm. We have added new features involving AI to our offerings and internal systems, and features that rely on AI that may be susceptible to unanticipated security threats as our and the market’s understanding of AI-centric security risks and protection methods continue to develop.
Occasionally, we face attempts by others, including our own employees or vendors, to access our networks, to gain unauthorized access through the Internet, introduce malicious software to our information technology (IT) systems, or corrupt the processes of hardware and software products that we manufacture and services we provide. We or our products may be a target of computer hackers, organizations, or malicious attackers who attempt to gain access to our network or data centers or those of our customers or end users; steal proprietary information related to our business, products, employees, and customers; or interrupt our systems or those of our customers or others. Occasionally, we encounter intrusions or attempts at gaining unauthorized access to our network. To date, none of these incidents have resulted in any material adverse impact to our business or operations, although there can be no guarantee that such impacts will not be material in the future. While we seek to detect and investigate all unauthorized attempts and attacks against our network and products, and to prevent their recurrence where practicable, we remain potentially vulnerable to additional known or unknown threats. In addition to intentional third-party cybersecurity breaches, the integrity and confidentiality of Company and customer data may be compromised as a result of human error, product defects, or technological failures. Cybersecurity breaches, whether successful or unsuccessful, and other IT system interruptions, including those resulting from human error and technological failures, could subject us to significant costs arising from, among others, rebuilding internal systems, reduced inventory value, providing modifications to our products and services, defending against litigation, responding to official inquiries or actions, paying damages, or taking other remedial steps with respect to third parties.
29
Emerging issues related to the development and use of artificial intelligence could give rise to legal or regulatory action, damage our reputation, or otherwise materially harm of our business.
Our development and use of AI technology in our products and operations remains in the early phases. While we aim to develop and use AI responsibly and attempt to mitigate ethical and legal issues presented by its use, we may ultimately be unsuccessful in identifying or resolving issues before they arise. AI technologies are complex and rapidly evolving, and the technologies that we develop or use may ultimately be flawed. Moreover, AI technology is subject to rapidly evolving regulations, which could impose significant costs and obligations on us. This includes actual and pending orders and laws by the U.S. federal government, the European Union and other jurisdictions in which we operate. Emerging regulations may also pertain to the ethical use of AI, as well as clarifying intellectual property considerations. Our use of AI could give rise to legal or regulatory action or increased scrutiny or liability, and may damage our reputation or otherwise materially harm our business.
Our evolving AI-related efforts may give rise to risks related to harmful content, inaccuracies, discrimination, intellectual property infringement or misappropriation, violation of rights of publicity, defamation, data privacy, cybersecurity, and other issues. As a result of these and other challenges associated with innovative technologies, our implementation of AI systems could subject us to competitive harm, regulatory action, legal liability (including under new and proposed legislation and regulations), new applications of existing data protection, privacy, intellectual property, and other laws, and brand or reputational harm. Some uses of AI will present ethical issues and may have broad effects on society. In order to implement AI responsibly and minimize unintended harmful effects, we have already devoted and will continue to invest significant resources to develop, test, and maintain our products and services, but we may not be able to identify or resolve all AI-related issues, deficiencies, and/or failures before they arise. Unintended consequences, uses, or customization of our AI tools and systems may negatively affect human rights, privacy, employment, or other social concerns, which may result in claims, lawsuits, brand or reputational harm, and increased regulatory scrutiny, any of which could harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.
Furthermore, AI technology and services are highly competitive, rapidly evolving, and require significant investment, including technical infrastructure, development and operational costs, to meet the changing needs and expectations of our existing users and attract new users. Our ability to correctly deploy certain AI technologies is critical for our products and services and for our business strategy may depend on the availability and pricing of third-party equipment and other technical infrastructure operations costs, including network capacity, energy, and equipment costs. Additionally, other companies may develop AI products and technologies that are similar or superior to our technologies or more cost-effective to develop and/or deploy. Other companies may also have (or in the future may obtain) patents or other proprietary rights that would prevent, limit, or interfere with our ability to make, use, or sell our own AI products and services.
The loss of key executives, and our ability to retain key personnel and attract additional qualified personnel
On August 26, 2024, the Company's former Chief Executive Officer, Zvi Lando resigned, and the Board of Directors appointed its former Chief Financial Officer, Ronen Faier to the position of interim Chief Executive Officer. In conjunction with this transition, the Board of Directors also appointed Ariel Porat, formerly the Company’s Senior Vice President of Finance, to serve as Chief Financial Officer. On December 4, 2024, Shuki Nir was appointed as the Company's CEO. On December 31, 2024, Rachel Prishkolnik, the Company's VP General Counsel and Corporate Secretary retired from her position and was replaced by Dalia Litay, the Company's new Chief Legal Officer. On March 3, 2025, Asaf Alperovitz replaced Ariel Porat as the Company's Chief Financial Officer. Executive leadership and senior management transitions, reductions in workforce and employee turnover can be time consuming, difficult to manage, create instability, cause disruption to our business and result in the loss of institutional knowledge, and any of these outcomes could impede the execution of our day-to-day operations and our ability to fully implement our business strategy. These impacts could also make it more difficult to attract and retain talent. The failure to successfully hire and retain key executives and employees or the further loss of any key executives, senior management and employees could have a significant impact on our operations, including declining product identity and competitive differentiation, eroding employee morale and productivity or an inability to maintain internal controls, regulatory or other compliance related requirements, any and all of which could in turn adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Disruption to our business operations as a result of the evolving conflict in Israel and otherconditions in Israel that affect our operations may limit our ability to develop, produce and sell our products.
Our headquarters and research and development center are located in Israel. Accordingly, political, economic, and military conditions in Israel directly affect us. Israel has been involved in a number of armed conflicts and the target of terrorist activity, including threats from Gaza, Iran, the Houthi militants in Yemen, Hezbollah militants in Lebanon, Iranian militias in Syria, and others.Additionally, in the second quarter of 2025, Israel and the Islamic Republic of Iran engaged in a 12-day war, which has since stabilized due to a brokered ceasefire.Violence between Hamas and Israel intensified on October 7th, 2023 when the terrorist group launched an unprecedented attack on Israel. On October 8, 2023 the Israeli Government declared that the Security Cabinet of the State of Israel approved a war situation in Israel. Since our headquarters and most of our employees operate from Israel, the state of war has disrupted and is continuing to disrupt our business operations. This situation has impacted the availability of our workforce, as part of our workforce in Israel, where we are headquartered, have been called into active reserve duty. From November 2023, until October 2025, the Houthis, a rebel Shi'a group in Yemen attacked international shipping lanes in the red sea forcing commercial ships to redirect commercial freight traffic away from the Bab al Mandab Strait and the Suez Canal, and find alternative longer and safer travel routes. If this situation continues or intensifies shipment costs and energy prices may increase which in turn may have an impact on the Company as well as on the global economy.
On October 9, 2025, Israel, Hamas, the United States and other countries in the region agreed to a framework for a ceasefire in Gaza between Israel and Hamas. It is unknown whether this ceasefire will endure, or if other conflicts in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, Iran, or in the broader region will reemerge or escalate in the future.
