The site started manufacturing and shipping the SolarEdge 'USA Edition' Home Battery in Q1, marking a key milestone in the company's commitment to strengthening its domestic supply chain and supporting U.S. energy independence. This new manufacturing site reflects SolarEdge's long-term strategy to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint, fulfill the rising demand for American-made energy storage solutions, and help customers meet domestic content requirements.
