New solution promises savings of up to 70% in fleet charging and expands integration between solar energy and electrical infrastructure for companies.
SolarEdge Technologies, a company specializing in smart energy solutions, presented its newest product at Intersolar Europe 2025 this week: a solar-powered electric vehicle (EV) charging system, initially aimed at the commercial segment. The innovation, called SolarEdge ONE EV Charger, is already available on the European market and should 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 power generation and adjusting usage based on grid prices and building loads. The initiative marks another step by SolarEdge in its attempt to consolidate a complete clean energy ecosystem, integrating solar panels, energy storage and electric mobility infrastructure.
Benefits of charging electric vehicles with solar energy
The company says one of its early customers reported a savings of about 70% in charging your electric fleet when using the new system, thanks to the prioritization of solar energy and intelligent charging management.

The charger, which supports single-phase and three-phase connections, automatically calculates the best power source for charging vehicles, considering:
- Real-time electricity grid prices
- Available solar generation
- Scheduling customer usage and consumption
- Electrical infrastructure limits of the installation
According to the company, this operating logic allows more chargers to be connected to a building's electrical network without the need for major renovations, which is especially attractive for companies with growing fleets.
Launch of SolarEdge ONE for C&I
Along with the charger, SolarEdge also announced the global launch of SolarEdge ONE for C&I, a software platform targeted at commercial and industrial customers. The system enables real-time monitoring of energy consumption, facilitates remote fault diagnosis and reduces equipment downtime.
These tools offer companies greater control over their energy costs and expand the ability to make data-driven decisions, reinforcing SolarEdge's proposal to act on all fronts of solar energy and electric mobility.
Design and assistance with artificial intelligence
SolarEdge’s new charger features a modern design designed for commercial applications and includes the Olivia virtual assistant, a voice-enabled AI system dedicated to guiding users and technical teams through the EV charging process.
This integration aims to facilitate the adoption of technology, especially in corporate environments that require simple, scalable and reliable operation.
Financial situation and market challenges
Despite technological advancement, SolarEdge is going through a delicate moment in financial terms. According to data from InvestingPro, the company has good liquidity, with a current liquidity ratio of 2,04, but faces problems with cash burn and pressured profitability margins.
Over the past 12 months, SolarEdge's revenue has fallen 59%, reflecting a challenging environment for the global solar industry, marked by regulatory uncertainty, falling demand in the residential segment and rising production costs.
Market reactions and revision of projections
The launch of the new charger comes amid a series of analyses and reviews by major financial institutions on SolarEdge shares:
- A Jefferies reduced the target price of the stock to US$ 9,00, citing concerns about tariffs affecting the company's gross margin, currently estimated at 6,5%
- O BMO Capital maintained classification Underperform, with target of US$ 14, and highlighted concerns about the residential solar market
- A Northland raised the action of Underperform to Market Perform, but reduced the target price to US$ 12,50, signaling positive cash flow and measures of cost reduction
- O Morgan Stanley downgraded the stock to underweight, with a target price of US$ 10, reflecting decreasing demands e regulatory uncertainties
Additionally, the company announced changes to its Board of Directors, with the departure of Mr. Marcel Gani and the future resignation of Dirk Hoke, which indicates a moment of internal strategic restructuring.
Strategic vision and sustainability
CEO Shuki Nir stated during the event that the advancement of electric mobility depends directly on the energy source that powers the vehicles. “The true sustainability of an electric fleet is linked to the cleanliness of its energy source,” said Nir. He reinforced that the integration of solar energy with public vehicle charging infrastructure will be essential to reduce costs and the carbon footprint in the transport sector.
The company's move signals a change in strategic focus, betting on the vertical integration of its solutions: from solar panels to vehicle chargers, including management software and storage batteries.
