Insights

The $40 million tax credit sale marks a significant milestone for SolarEdge's U.S. manufacturing strategy and financial position. The company's Austin facility has already achieved a 500 MW quarterly production rate, with a second facility in Tampa ramping up production. This development strengthens their balance sheet and creates a recurring revenue stream through future tax credit sales.

The successful monetization of §45X credits demonstrates strong market acceptance and validates SolarEdge's U.S. manufacturing investment. With production capacity expanding and a clear path to monetize tax credits, this could generate substantial additional cash flow. The Tampa facility's planned expansion into commercial inverters and optimizers in Q1 2025 suggests further credit generation potential.

The rapid scaling of U.S. manufacturing operations shows impressive execution. The Austin facility reaching 500 MW quarterly production and maintaining it for multiple quarters indicates stable operations and supply chain management. The Tampa facility's expansion timeline and 2 million unit quarterly capacity target for Power Optimizers represents significant domestic manufacturing capability.

This domestic production shift reduces supply chain risks and shipping costs while potentially accelerating delivery times to U.S. customers. The ability to generate and monetize tax credits while building domestic manufacturing expertise creates a competitive advantage in the U.S. market.

MILPITAS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: SEDG), a global leader in smart energy technology, today announced it closed its first transaction for the sale of §45X Advanced Manufacturing Production Tax Credits in consideration for approximately $40 million, net of discounts and fees. The Credits were generated by sales of eligible, U.S. made, inverters in the first half of 2024.

Ronen Faier, Interim Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge, said: “The Inflation Reduction Act and new §45X of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code have made it possible to bring high value energy technology manufacturing back to the United States, and we are pleased to announce our first sale of §45X tax credits backed by ‘Made in the U.S.A.’ solar inverters. This sale represents an important milestone in the maturation of the §45X credit transfer market and demonstrates the marketability of credits backed by U.S. made inverter technology.”

Ariel Porat, Chief Financial Officer of SolarEdge, said: “The liquidity provided by the sale of these credits will enhance our cash position, further strengthening our balance sheet and enable us to accelerate our investment in our United States manufacturing footprint. This in turn will help us fulfill our promise to deliver a dependable supply of U.S. produced technology to our installer and developer customers.”

The tax credits were generated from the sale of inverters produced in the first half of 2024 at SolarEdge’s facility in Austin, Texas. The Austin, Texas facility reached a target quarterly run rate of 500 MW of inverter production in the second quarter of 2024, produced over 500 MW in the third quarter of 2024 and is expected to ramp production in the fourth quarter of 2024.

SolarEdge’s second U.S. facility near Tampa, Florida began shipping Power Optimizers in Q2 2024 and is expected to reach a production capacity of approximately two million per quarter. The facility is adding commercial inverter and Power Optimizer production starting in Q1 2025.
