SolarEdge Technologies

SolarEdge Technologies, headquartered in Herzliya, Israel, manufactures DC-optimised solar inverters, power optimisers, and energy storage solutions that maximise solar energy harvesting at the module level. Its distributed power optimizer architecture — where each solar panel has its own power electronics — enables independent maximum-power-point tracking and granular monitoring, and has become the dominant approach for residential and commercial solar installations in many markets. SolarEdge partners with university power-electronics research groups on wide-bandgap semiconductors (GaN, SiC), multi-level inverter topologies, and grid-forming inverter control for high-penetration solar grids. The company's academic engagement programme provides prototyping boards and research datasets to university labs studying solar energy conversion, battery management systems, and smart-grid integration.
