A maker of DC-optimized solar systems that pair module-level power optimizers with inverters, plus batteries, EV chargers and SolarEdge ONE software for monitoring and energy management, sold through distributors to installers. Founded in 2006 in Israel by five alumni of the Israeli Intelligence Corps' elite technology unit, the company's name blends "Solar" and "Edge" — a nod to the technical edge its founders aimed to bring to the solar industry.
SolarEdge gross margin reaches 27.5% in Q2 2026, the highest in over three years, but the company remains unprofitable.
SolarEdge's recovery accelerated sharply, reaching 27.5% in Q2 2026. rose 19.6% to $346.2 million, driven by a $63.0 million increase in battery sales, and the net loss narrowed to $30.8 million from $124.7 million a year ago as a $13.3 million tariff refund and lower fixed costs boosted profitability. The company is approaching breakeven, but demand for its core solar products is softening and U.S. trade policy remains in flux.
Key takeaways
expanded to 27.5% from 11.1% a year ago, helped by lower fixed production costs spread over higher and a $13.3 million benefit from IEEPA tariff refunds recognized as a reduction to cost of revenues; without U.S. advanced manufacturing production credits, the company would have reported a gross loss.
rose 19.6% to $346.2 million, driven by a $63.0 million increase in battery and battery accessory sales, partially offset by a $13.9 million decline in inverter and power optimizer sales and an $8.1 million drop from the discontinued Energy Storage division.
Section summaries
Management's Discussion and Analysis
Q2 2026 revenue rose 19.6% to $346.2M and gross margin improved to 27.5%, but net loss was $30.8M.
⌄
Q2 2026 rose 19.6% to $346.2 million, driven by $63.0 million higher battery and battery accessory sales and $4.9 million higher communication products, partly offset by $13.9 million lower inverter/optimizer sales and $8.1 million from the energy storage business discontinuation.
expanded to 27.5% from 11.1% in Q2, helped by lower fixed production costs spread over higher and $13.3 million of IEEPA tariff refunds recognized as a reduction to cost of revenues, but excluding U.S. advanced manufacturing production credits would have produced a gross loss; rose $25.2 million.
The net loss narrowed to $30.8 million from $124.7 million a year ago, as other operating expenses fell $39.1 million because the prior-year quarter included a $36.7 million held-for-sale and an $18.0 million loss on the PV tracker sale that did not recur.
was $11.4 million for the quarter, down 53.3% sequentially from $24.4 million in Q1 2026, and was $3.1 million; for the first half, operating cash flow totaled $35.8 million.
accruals rose $25.2 million , signaling that product obsolescence or pricing pressure on existing remains a even as the overall recovers.
The company warned that softness in photovoltaic product demand is expected to continue in Q3 2026 and gave no assurance that sales will continue to increase.
What changed
Earlier filings flagged whether could be sustained above 20% as the benefit of non-recurring comparisons faded: Q2 2026 gross margin reached 27.5%, up from 22.0% in Q1 2026, but the improvement was partly driven by a $13.3 million IEEPA tariff refund—a one-time item—and the company disclosed that accruals rose $25.2 million .
The permanent CEO appointment, pending for over 20 months, remained unresolved; the filing gives no indication of a timeline, leaving the leadership transition as an open strategic question.
Customer concentration eased further: two customers represented 28.8% of Q2 2026 , down from one customer at 16.4% in Q1 2026 and three customers at 44.6% a year ago, though two customers still represented 26.3% of trade .
The U.S. tariff landscape shifted materially: IEEPA tariffs were invalidated in February 2026, a Section 122 surcharge was struck down in May 2026 but stayed on appeal, and Section 301 tariffs of 10–12.5% were imposed in July 2026, creating ongoing uncertainty about component costs and potential refunds.
What to watch
Whether Q3 2026 declines as management expects, given the warning that softness in PV product demand will continue and the 28.5% drop in inverter units sold in the first half.
The trajectory of accruals, which rose $25.2 million in Q2 2026, and whether they signal further pricing pressure or product transition costs that could erode the recovery.
The outcome of the Section 122 tariff appeal and whether the company recovers duties paid during Q2 2026; a refund would provide a cash inflow, while an adverse ruling would remove a source of margin support.
Whether the FCC's addition of power inverters to its Covered List effective July 28, 2026 restricts SolarEdge's ability to introduce new inverter models in the U.S., its largest market at 60.6% of 2025 .
Net loss narrowed to $30.8 million from $124.7 million in Q2, as other operating expense fell $39.1 million due to prior-year held-for-sale and PV tracker sale loss, and R&D and sales/marketing declined, partly offset by higher G&A and a $5.1 million increase in net financial expense.
For the first half, rose 29.0% to $656.7 million; battery megawatt hours recognized rose 96.1% to 757.0, while inverters fell 28.5% to 113.1 thousand and optimizers rose 3.6% to 4.9 million.
As of June 30, 2026, cash and equivalents were $527.3 million, with $19.7 million in and $54.7 million restricted cash; six-month was $35.8 million, and the company has $340.0 million purchase obligations, $12.8 million commitments, and a $272.8 million non-cancelable lease commitment for new Israel offices expected to commence by end-2026.
The company expects softness in PV product demand to continue in Q3 2026 and gives no assurance that sales will continue to increase.
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
SolarEdge reports FX, customer-concentration, and commodity risks; 10% EUR/USD move would change net loss by $14.8M.
⌄
About 48.1% of H1 2026 was earned in non-U.S. dollar currencies, mainly the Euro, up from 34.1% in H1 2025.
A hypothetical 10% Euro/U.S. dollar move would change net loss by $14.8 million, and a 10% NIS/U.S. dollar move by $26.3 million, for H1 2026.
The company hedges anticipated NIS payroll with foreign currency forward contracts and designated as ; Euro/U.S. dollar forwards are not designated as cash flow hedges.
Two major customers represented 26.3% of trade at June 30, 2026, and two customers were 28.8% of Q2 2026 .
Commodity exposure to copper, lithium, nickel, and cobalt is unhedged; significant price increases could reduce operating margins if not passed to customers.

In the normal course of business, we may from time to time be named as a party to various legal claims, actions and complaints (including as a result of initiating such legal claims, action or complaints on behalf of the Company), including the matters described in Note 14 – “Commitments and Contingent Liabilities” to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in Item 3 – “Legal Proceedings” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the period ended December 31, 2025. It is impossible to predict with certainty whether any resulting liability from any such legal claims, actions or complaints would have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Updated risks center on U.S. tariff/trade measures and Israel conflict disruptions to SolarEdge.
⌄
Newly emphasized U.S. tariff exposure is in flux: IEEPA tariffs were invalidated in February 2026, a 10% Section 122 surcharge (150-day, 15% ceiling) was struck down in May 2026 but stayed on appeal, and July 2026 Section 301 tariffs of 10–12.5% replaced it.
The company may recover some or all Section 122 duties paid during the quarter if the proclamation is ultimately held invalid and refund mechanisms are established, but the outcome, timing, and amount are uncertain.
The FCC added power inverters to its Covered List effective July 28, 2026, restricting new foreign-produced inverter models from U.S. equipment authorization; SolarEdge believes its inverter products remain eligible.
Tariffs could raise component, manufacturing, and solar-system costs, reduce demand, pressure gross margins, and cause customers to accelerate, delay, or cancel purchases.
Israel conflict risk remains elevated: 179 employees (7% of the Israel workforce) were called to reserve duty in Q2 2026, and direct military conflicts with Iran and Hezbollah in H1 2026 could disrupt headquarters, R&D, and the Sella 1 facility.
To date the company has not experienced material disruptions to manufacturing or delivery, but escalation could materially harm the business, and some customers face pressure not to deal with it due to its Israel affiliation.
