As the world grapples with surging energy demands and a growing urgency for sustainable solutions,SolarEdge Technologies Inc. is doubling down on its commitment to smarter, safer, and more efficient power. The global smart energy leader has released its 2024 Sustainability Report, offering a transparent look at the company’s environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance, and signalling just how far SolarEdge has come in reshaping the global energy landscape.
By the close of 2024, more than 3.7 million homes worldwide were equipped with SolarEdge photovoltaic (PV) systems, an impressive milestone for a company that has positioned itself at the intersection of clean tech and innovation. Even more telling: over half of the Fortune 100 companies now feature SolarEdge technology on at least one of their rooftops, a powerful endorsement of the brand’s reliability and reach.
“Our 2024 Sustainability Report reaffirms our long-standing dedication to sustainable and responsible innovation,” said Shuki Nir, CEO of SolarEdge. “As global energy consumption continues to climb, we remain focused on delivering solutions that support a cleaner, more resilient future.”
The company’s progress has not gone unnoticed. SolarEdge was named for the second year in a row to the prestigious Corporate Knights Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable corporations. Additional accolades include:
- A Silver Medal rating from EcoVadis, placing SolarEdge in the top 15% of more than 130,000 companies assessed worldwide.
- A strong ‘A’ ESG rating from MSCI.
- A ranking within the top 10% of companies in the Electronic Components sector by ISS ESG.
These ratings reflect the company’s commitment to robust ESG practices, underpinned by its adherence to international ISO certifications across all manufacturing and R&D facilities, covering quality, environmental impact, and occupational safety.
SolarEdge’s sustainability strategy goes beyond technology and operations. The company conducted Environmental Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs) for several key products, ensuring that environmental considerations are embedded into product design from the start.
Meanwhile, through its EDGEUcate program, the company reached 10,000 students, delivering hands-on solar energy education led by SolarEdge employees. This initiative aims to foster the next generation of clean energy advocates and professionals.Shaping the Future of Energy: SolarEdge’s 2024 Sustainability Report Signals Bold Progress in Clean Tech
As energy consumption continues to climb worldwide and climate action becomes a central tenet of corporate responsibility, SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. is staking its position as a global frontrunner in the smart energy revolution. The Israel- and California-based tech company has released its 2024 Sustainability Report, showcasing the scale of its progress and its enduring commitment to building a low-carbon, intelligent energy future.
From rooftop solar systems in residential suburbs to scalable, AI-enhanced energy solutions on the rooftops of Fortune 100 giants, SolarEdge is increasingly central to how the world powers homes, businesses, and industries. The new report not only highlights impressive adoption metrics but also reaffirms the company’s focus on sustainability, technological innovation, and community engagement.
“Our 2024 Sustainability Report reflects our dedication to supporting a global transition toward a more sustainable and efficient energy system,” said Shuki Nir, Chief Executive Officer of SolarEdge. “We believe that energy must be both smart and responsible, and this philosophy is embedded in everything we do—from R&D and product development to manufacturing and education.”
At the heart of SolarEdge’s growth story is its rapidly expanding global footprint. By the end of 2024, over 3.7 million homes were powered by the company’s photovoltaic (PV) systems, a testament to the increasing demand for decentralised, clean, and digitally managed electricity.
Equally notable is the company’s penetration into the commercial sector: more than 50% of Fortune 100 companies now have SolarEdge technology installed on at least one rooftop facility. This represents a major vote of confidence from some of the world’s most influential and scrutinized corporations, many of which are under increasing pressure to meet ambitious ESG targets.
SolarEdge’s platform, which includes smart inverters, energy storage solutions, and intelligent energy management tools, enables both residential and enterprise users to maximise solar production, increase energy efficiency, and monitor usage in real-time. These capabilities not only reduce carbon footprints but also lower energy costs and improve grid reliability, a trifecta for sustainability-minded stakeholders.
SolarEdge’s technology may be transformative, but its operational and governance achievements are equally compelling. The company was again included in the 2025 Corporate Knights Global 100, an influential ranking of the world’s most sustainable corporations. This marks the second consecutive year the company has appeared on the list, a rare distinction that reflects consistent performance in carbon management, resource efficiency, and social responsibility.
In addition to Corporate Knights recognition, SolarEdge secured a series of top-tier ESG ratings in 2024:
- EcoVadis Silver Medal, placing it among the top 15% of over 130,000 companies rated worldwide on sustainability performance.
- A strong MSCI ESG Rating of ‘A’, reflecting above-average sustainability performance relative to peers.
- Recognition by ISS ESG as being in the top 10% of companies within the Electronic Components sector.
All of SolarEdge’s manufacturing and R&D facilities are certified to ISO standards, covering quality (ISO 9001), environmental management (ISO 14001), and occupational health and safety (ISO 45001). These certifications reinforce the company’s holistic approach to sustainability, from factory floor to final product.
Sustainability isn’t just a corporate value at SolarEdge, it’s a design principle. In 2024, the company completed Environmental Life Cycle Analyses (LCAs) for several of its flagship products. LCAs help quantify the environmental impact of a product over its entire life span, from raw materials extraction and manufacturing to use and disposal, allowing the company to further refine products with efficiency and circularity in mind.
SolarEdge is also exploring ways to reduce emissions and energy consumption across its supply chain. The company has invested in more energy-efficient production processes and is working closely with suppliers to adopt sustainable practices, including the use of recyclable materials and the reduction of hazardous substances.
This approach positions SolarEdge at the intersection of innovation and impact, an increasingly valuable space as more governments, regulators, and consumers demand that companies take measurable steps to mitigate environmental harm.
Beyond infrastructure and innovation, SolarEdge is cultivating a more sustainable world through education. Its signature community program, EDGEUcate, reached 10,000 school-aged pupils in 2024 alone. Through employee-led workshops and solar energy lessons, students learned about the science behind solar power and the importance of sustainability in everyday life.
The initiative aligns with the company’s belief that long-term climate solutions require more than technology, they require a shift in awareness, behaviour, and cultural priorities.
“EDGEUcate is more than just a CSR program,” said a SolarEdge spokesperson. “It’s an investment in the future workforce, the future consumer, and ultimately, the future of the planet.”
As the energy sector undergoes a seismic transformation, fuelled by climate imperatives, geopolitical uncertainty, and digital disruption, SolarEdge is well-positioned to help lead the charge. With an expanding global customer base, award-winning ESG performance, and a roadmap anchored in smart technology and responsible governance, the company is not just keeping up with the transition to clean energy, it’s helping to define it.
The 2024 Sustainability Report serves not only as a retrospective on progress made but also as a bold declaration of intent. SolarEdge isn’t slowing down; it’s accelerating, armed with innovation and inspired by impact.
