SolarEdge Scales Up U.S. Manufacturing with New Salt Lake City Facility, Bolstering Domestic Energy Independence
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG), a global leader in smart energy technology, has taken a significant step forward in reinforcing its presence in the U.S. renewable energy sector with the ramp-up of a new, state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Salt Lake City, Utah. The facility began operations in the first quarter of 2025, marking a key milestone as it commenced production and shipment of the company’s new ‘USA Edition’ SolarEdge Home Battery.
This development underlines SolarEdge’s strategic commitment to strengthening its domestic supply chain, expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint, and contributing to the broader goals of American energy independence and economic revitalization. With the new Salt Lake City site joining previously launched facilities in Florida and Texas, SolarEdge is now firmly positioned as a major player in the domestic clean energy manufacturing landscape.
Expanding the American Clean Energy Backbone
SolarEdge’s expansion into Utah aligns with its long-term strategy to localize manufacturing and address growing consumer and regulatory demand for American-made energy products. In a market increasingly shaped by domestic content requirements and federal energy incentives, SolarEdge is demonstrating proactive leadership by ensuring that its residential solar-plus-storage solutions are manufactured within the United States.
The Salt Lake City facility has already begun producing the U.S.-specific version of the SolarEdge Home Battery, a flagship component of the company’s smart energy portfolio. This advanced energy storage solution is engineered to integrate seamlessly with SolarEdge’s ecosystem of inverters and power optimizers, providing a robust, fully optimized solution for homeowners, solar installers, and energy service providers.
By manufacturing this battery domestically, the company simplifies tracking for compliance, facilitates eligibility for federal incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and empowers customers to meet Buy American provisions. The battery features a dedicated SKU that supports easier qualification under domestic content standards, an increasingly important factor in public and private solar-plus-storage procurement.
Supporting Jobs, Communities, and Innovation
The Salt Lake City site is not just a production facility—it’s a symbol of SolarEdge’s commitment to economic development and job creation. Along with its operations in Florida and Texas, the company’s U.S. facilities now account for more than 2,000 new jobs, many of them highly skilled roles in engineering, assembly, quality assurance, and logistics. These investments are not only helping to stimulate local economies but are also contributing to the reshoring of clean energy manufacturing—a critical national objective.
In addition to batteries, the Utah site will serve as a hub for the production of SolarEdge’s full suite of residential solar hardware, including inverters and power optimizers, ensuring that core components of the company’s residential product ecosystem are built on American soil.
The expansion strengthens SolarEdge’s ability to serve the North American market with shorter lead times, increased supply chain resilience, and greater responsiveness to changing market conditions. These benefits are particularly vital as solar adoption accelerates and demand for energy storage continues to grow amid grid instability and rising electricity rates.
Political and Community Endorsements
The launch of the Salt Lake City manufacturing plant has received widespread praise from local leaders and elected officials, reflecting the bipartisan appeal of clean energy investment and domestic job creation. U.S. Representative Celeste Maloy (R-Utah-2) voiced her enthusiastic support for the initiative, highlighting both its economic and strategic importance.
“In Utah, we are eager to be a part of our nation’s energy solutions,” said Rep. Maloy. “It’s time to build again in America, and this new manufacturing of battery storage solutions right here in Utah’s 2nd Congressional District is evidence that our state is leading the charge.”
The statement echoes growing recognition that reshoring advanced manufacturing can bolster American competitiveness, enhance national energy security, and empower communities to play an active role in the clean energy transition.
A Technology-Forward Approach to Energy Storage
The SolarEdge Home Battery being produced in Salt Lake City is part of the company’s broader vision of intelligent, reliable, and modular solar-plus-storage systems. Designed to optimize both energy generation and usage, the battery offers homeowners the flexibility to store excess solar power during the day and use it during peak hours or grid outages.
Coupled with SolarEdge’s optimized inverters and power optimizers, the system delivers high energy efficiency and seamless integration with smart home management tools. These capabilities are especially relevant in states like Utah, where homeowners are seeking new ways to reduce their energy bills, enhance energy resilience, and take advantage of available rebates and tax incentives.
The USA Edition battery supports dynamic rate shifting, backup power, and participation in future grid services or virtual power plant (VPP) programs. It is ideally suited for residential customers, third-party owner (TPO) programs, and small-scale commercial applications looking to boost energy independence and grid flexibility.
Commitment to Domestic Energy Leadership
Marty Rogers, General Manager at SolarEdge, emphasized that the Salt Lake City expansion is about more than just meeting market demand—it’s about shaping the future of American energy.
We’re proud to be part of the manufacturing resurgence in America, as our investments represent a strategic commitment to the domestic market,” said Rogers. “This expansion not only supports our growth objectives but reinforces our promise to customers: reliable, high-quality technology with shorter lead times and greater supply chain stability.”
Rogers added that the federal energy incentives embedded in legislation like the IRA have made it economically viable for companies like SolarEdge to onshore production and reduce dependence on foreign manufacturing.
The American energy tax credits have enabled us to make this expansion possible,” he noted. “As Congress considers changes to clean energy tax credits, we encourage lawmakers to recognize how vital these incentives are for businesses to continue investing in domestic manufacturing and drive America’s future energy dominance.”
A Blueprint for the Future
SolarEdge’s new facility comes at a pivotal time for the U.S. solar industry, which is facing both surging demand and increasing scrutiny over the origins of its supply chain. With the Biden Administration pushing for 100% clean electricity by 2035, and various state-level mandates accelerating solar deployment, domestic manufacturing is no longer just a policy preference—it’s a strategic imperative.
SolarEdge’s decision to ramp up production in Utah positions the company at the forefront of this shift. By bringing high-tech energy manufacturing to American communities, Edge is helping to ensure that the benefits of the clean energy economy—jobs, resilience, innovation, and energy savings—remain within national borders.
As SolarEdge continues to expand its manufacturing operations across the U.S., it is setting a precedent for how global energy companies can localize production while staying competitive and compliant. The Salt Lake City plant is not just a factory—it’s a launchpad for a cleaner, more secure energy future.
With a full suite of U.S.-made products now available—from inverters to batteries and power optimizers—Edge is providing American homeowners and businesses with a homegrown solution to rising energy costs and climate uncertainty. And as federal and state governments continue to prioritize domestic production and energy resilience, the company is well-positioned to lead the next wave of growth in America’s plus-storage market.
