# SolarEdge Technologies

> SolarEdge Technologies is an Israeli maker of solar power electronics that turned a stubborn physics problem - one shaded or weak panel dragging down a whole string - into a business. Its DC power optimizers sit behind each solar module and squeeze more energy out of every roof, feeding a matched inverter and a cloud monitoring platform that lets owners and installers watch each panel individually. Founded in 2006 and public on Nasdaq since 2015, the company sells into homes, businesses and utilities across roughly 130 countries, and after a brutal 2023-2024 inventory glut is rebuilding around its new Nexis residential solar-and-storage platform.
