New Solution Promises Up to 70% Savings in Fleet Charging and Enhances Integration Between Solar Energy and Electrical Infrastructure for Companies.

SolarEdge Technologies, a company specializing in intelligent energy solutions, presented this week at Intersolar Europe 2025 its latest product: an electric vehicle (EV) charging system primarily powered by solar energy, initially aimed at the commercial segment. The innovation, called SolarEdge ONE EV Charger, is already available in the European market and is expected to reach residential use by the end of the third quarter of this year.

The proposal seeks to optimize costs and promote more sustainable charging by leveraging local solar energy generation and adjusting usage according to electricity grid prices and building loads. This initiative marks another step for SolarEdge in its attempt to consolidate a complete ecosystem of clean energy, integrating solar panels, energy storage, and electric mobility infrastructure.

Benefits of Electric Vehicle Charging with Solar Energy

The company claims that one of its initial clients reported a savings of around 70% on their electric fleet charging by using the new system, thanks to the prioritization of solar energy and smart charging management.

The charger, which supports single-phase and three-phase connections, automatically calculates the best energy source for charging vehicles, considering:

  • Real-time electricity grid prices
  • Available solar generation
  • Customer usage and consumption scheduling
  • Electrical infrastructure limits of the installation

This operational logic allows, according to the company, connecting more chargers to a building’s electrical grid without the need for major renovations, which is especially attractive for companies with growing fleets.

Launch of SolarEdge ONE for C&I

Together with the charger, SolarEdge also announced the global launch of SolarEdge ONE for C&I, a software platform aimed at commercial and industrial clients. The system allows real-time monitoring of energy consumption, facilitates remote fault diagnosis, and reduces equipment downtime.

These tools provide companies with greater control over their energy costs and expand the ability to make data-driven decisions, reinforcing SolarEdge’s proposal to operate in all fronts of solar energy and electric mobility.

Design and Assistance with Artificial Intelligence

The new charger from SolarEdge features a modern design tailored for commercial applications and includes the virtual assistant Olivia, a voice AI system dedicated to guiding users and technical teams during the EV charging process.

This integration aims to facilitate technology adoption, especially in corporate environments that require simple, scalable, and reliable operation.

Financial Situation and Market Challenges

Despite the technological advancements, SolarEdge is going through a delicate moment financially. According to data from InvestingPro, the company has good liquidity, with a current ratio of 2.04, but faces challenges with cash burn and pressured profit margins.

In the last 12 months, SolarEdge’s revenue dropped by 59%, reflecting a challenging environment for the global solar sector, marked by regulatory uncertainties, decreased demand in the residential segment, and rising production costs.

Market Reactions and Revision of Projections

The presentation of the new charger comes amid a series of analyses and revisions made by major financial institutions regarding SolarEdge’s shares:

  • Jefferies reduced the price target for the stock to US$ 9.00, citing concerns over tariffs affecting the company’s gross margin, currently estimated at 6.5%
  • BMO Capital maintained an Underperform rating, with a target of US$ 14, and highlighted concerns about the residential solar market
  • Northland upgraded the stock from Underperform to Market Perform, but lowered the price target to US$ 12.50, signaling positive cash flow and cost-cutting measures
  • Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to Underweight, with a price target of US$ 10, reflecting declining demand and regulatory uncertainties

Additionally, the company announced changes to its Board of Directors, with the departure of Mr. Marcel Gani and the upcoming resignation of Dirk Hoke, indicating a moment of internal strategic restructuring.

Strategic Vision and Sustainability

CEO Shuki Nir stated during the event that the advancement of electric mobility directly depends on the energy source powering the vehicles. “The true sustainability of an electric fleet is linked to the cleanliness of its energy source,” said Nir. He emphasized that the integration of solar energy with public EV charging infrastructure will be essential for reducing costs and the carbon footprint in the transportation sector.

The company’s movement signals a shift in strategic focus, betting on the vertical integration of its solutions: from solar panels to vehicle chargers, through management software and storage batteries.
