SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. is an Israeli company that produces DC optimized inverter systems. SolarEdge was founded in 2006, began mass production in 2009, and completed an initial public offering on the Nasdaq in March 2015. In 2023, SolarEdge became the most losing stock in the S&P 500 for the year, which resulted in its removal from the index.[2] HistorySolarEdge was established in 2006 by Guy Sella, Lior Handelsman, Yoav Galin, Meir Adest, and Amir Fishelov. The company was backed by venture capital from GE Energy Financial Services, Norwest Venture Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, ORR Partners, Genesis Partners, Walden International, Vertex Ventures Israel, JP Asia Capital and Opus Capital Ventures.
