Our take
Solar energy is quickly becoming big business, as nations worldwide commit to greener power and back those promises with serious investment. With billions on the table, compeititon is fierce (and innvation is the name of the game. Among the frontrunners cashing in on this clean-energy boom is SolarEdge.
With strings of solar energy harvesting panels, central inverters typically limit string output to the level of the lowest performing panel, which isn’t optimal: one shaded panel can pull down the performance of the entire string. SolarEdge’s innovation is to install power optimizers on each panel, thereby both tracking the maximum power point at the modular level, and allowing for more granular performance monitoring.
From there, SolarEdge has developed out into a wealth of clean energy solutions worldwide - most recently unveiling its ONE Controller at Intersolar Europe 2025. Designed to help German homeowners meet new energy rules, it connects solar systems with devices like EV chargers and heat pumps for smarter, more efificnet energy use. It's a clever step that keeps SolarEdge ahead of the curve and ready for the future.
