Add topicNo Longer Privately Held
[edit]The article says that the company is private. It has traded publicly (NASDAQ:SEDG) since 27 March 2015 (https://www.google.com/finance?q=solar+edge&ei=F2uEVevTOtareaqLl8AN). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2602:252:D58:1C70:9444:405:E59C:1B59 (talk) 19:28, 19 June 2015 (UTC)
Lots of non-wiki footnotes?
[edit]There are a lot of *s all over the article, did someone just copy/paste the content from the official site? Should this be changed? Fry-kun (talk) 22:01, 26 April 2016 (UTC)
Who uses SolarEdge products?
[edit]Who uses SolarEdge products? and which ones? Would not a CHART of users of various SolarEdge products be useful to our readers? MaynardClark (talk) 00:38, 4 August 2021 (UTC)

Disclosed COI request: two sourcing issues
[edit]| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary. |
I work for SolarEdge and have disclosed this on my user page per WP:PAID. I won't edit the article directly. For transparency: an agency made edits here in 2024 that were reverted as promotional. I wasn't with the company then and have no connection to those accounts — I'd rather use the proper process.
Two issues, neither of which benefits my employer.
1. Macrotrends citation in the lead. The sentence about the June 2024 share price cites Macrotrends for "an all-time-high of $368.33 on November 15, 2021". Macrotrends is a stock-price chart aggregator and isn't a reliable source for a specific historical price figure per WP:RS; the Investopedia citation alongside it doesn't support that clause either. Note also that the dollar figures in this sentence were previously found to be incorrect and were corrected in August 2024 (see the edit summary at 17:13, 20 August 2024). Given that history, a chart aggregator seems a weak basis for the claim. Suggest removing the all-time-high figure, or replacing the citation with a reliable source if one exists.
To be clear, I am not proposing any change to the S&P 500 content, which is well sourced and belongs in the article.
2. Infobox financials. These are dated December 31, 2021 — revenue is listed as US$1.96 billion. Nearly five years stale for a listed company. Current figures are in the latest Form 10-K.
Happy to answer questions or provide sources. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 09:18, 30 July 2026 (UTC)
Additional information needed - I don't see an issue with either, however, it would be helpful to include sources so your requests can be completed. Heartmusic678 (talk) 19:45, 31 July 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for taking a look. Details for both below.
- 1. Macrotrends citation. To be clear, the figure is easy to find - my concern is what it represents. Macrotrends states that its price history is adjusted for splits and dividends, and gives $368.33 as the all-time-high closing price for 15 November 2021. Other providers show different values for the same date (Yahoo Finance: close $365.13, intraday high $369.29). The article presents one provider's adjusted figure as an unqualified all-time high, which is why I raised it.
- Options, in order of preference:
- Remove the "down from an all-time-high of $368.33 on November 15, 2021" clause, leaving the rest of the sentence and its Investopedia citation intact
- Or attribute it, e.g. "...down from a split- and dividend-adjusted peak of about $368 in November 2021"
- Either works for me. I don't think a stock-chart aggregator is a good basis for a precise historical price claim (WP:RS), but I'm not attached to a particular fix.
- 2. Infobox financials. Figures for the year ended 31 December 2025, from the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on 25 February 2026:
- Revenue: US$1,184.4 million
- Operating income: US$−301.7 million
- Net income: US$−405.4 million
- Total assets: US$2,182.2 million
- Total equity: US$427.5 million
- Number of employees: 3,576 (full and part time), as of 31 December 2025
- Source: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001419612/000117891326000632/zk2634374.htm
- Consolidated balance sheets and statements of income (loss) are at pages F-6 to F-7; the employee figure is in Item 1 under "Human Capital".
- I've given raw figures without increase/decrease markers so you can format them as you prefer. Note these are materially worse than the 2021 figures currently shown - I'm requesting the update because the existing data is five years stale, not because it favors the company. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 06:49, 2 August 2026 (UTC)
- No further comment in two weeks since I provided the sources, and past the 7-14 day window in the reviewer instructions. Since Heartmusic678 reviewed both requests and saw no issue with either, I intend to implement them myself in 24 hours unless anyone objects. Both are uncontroversial and neither favours my employer - the financial figures are materially worse than the 2021 data currently shown. Happy to self-revert if anyone disagrees. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 09:42, 16 August 2026 (UTC)
- Both requests implemented, as flagged 24 hours ago with no objection.
- Infobox financials updated to FY2025 per the Form 10-K [diff]
- All-time-high figure and Macrotrends citation removed [diff]
- Two notes: I left out the increase/decrease markers rather than choosing them
- myself - computed against FY2024 several would be upward arrows, since revenue
- rose and both losses narrowed, and that didn't seem my call to make as a COI
- editor. Anyone should feel free to add them. I also corrected the infobox
- footnote, which still read "Financials as of December 31, 2021", and
- consolidated the citation there instead of repeating it on each field.
- On the sentence, I removed only the unsourced clause and its citation and left
- the wording otherwise unchanged.
- Anyone should feel free to revert any part of this. @Heartmusic678:
- thanks for the earlier review. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 11:38, 17 August 2026 (UTC)
Disclosed COI request: expand the opening paragraph
[edit]| This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. Set |answered=no to reactivate the request if necessary. |
Disclosed COI as before - I work for SolarEdge and won't edit the article directly. My previous request (infobox financials and the all-time-high citation) was implemented without objection. @Heartmusic678:, tagging you since you reviewed that one, in case you have time to look at this too - no obligation.
The opening paragraph is currently one sentence and doesn't summarise the article per WP:LEAD. Proposing an expansion. This does not change the second paragraph (the S&P 500 / share price content), which stays exactly as it is and in the same position.
Current: SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. is an Israeli company that produces DC optimized inverter systems.
Proposed: SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. is an Israeli energy technology company headquartered in Herzliya that develops and manufactures solar inverters, power optimizers, battery energy storage, and EV charging equipment, primarily for residential and commercial customers.[1] Its DC optimized inverter system fits a power optimizer to each solar panel to adjust that panel's output individually, before a central inverter converts the combined output to alternating current.[1] SolarEdge was founded in 2006, began mass production through contract manufacturer Flex in 2009, and completed an initial public offering on the Nasdaq in March 2015 under the ticker symbol SEDG.
The third sentence restates facts already in the History section (the IPO detail already has its own citation there). The first two sentences are sourced to the company's Form 10-K, already cited elsewhere in the infobox - same reference, reused.
I've kept this to plain description: product line, how the technology works, founding facts. I've deliberately left out any market-share or shipment-volume claim, since the company's most recent 10-K discontinued unit-shipped metrics in favour of revenue-recognized metrics, and I didn't think a superseded figure belonged here. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 11:21, 23 August 2026 (UTC)
- I am inclined to leave this for someone else, because I think this may be too product-heavy for the lead. However, if I take a look at the source you have I might have a different opinion. Could you add the reference again? Not sure if it is just on my end, but I do not see a link to an actual source. Heartmusic678 (talk) 20:00, 27 August 2026 (UTC)
- Thanks for the follow-up! Sorry about that - the ref only resolves on the article page itself, where it's already defined from the earlier infobox request. Here's the full citation:
- [1]
- Direct link: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001419612/000117891326000632/zk2634374.htm
- It's the company's SEC filing, so a primary source - fine for the straightforward factual claims here (products, headquarters, founding date), which is all this paragraph makes. Happy to hear your thoughts once you've had a look. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 06:16, 30 August 2026 (UTC) Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 06:16, 30 August 2026 (UTC)
- @Heartmusic678: Following up — it's been about three weeks since I
- posted the corrected citation. No rush if you're busy, just making sure this
- didn't fall through the cracks. Happy to trim the product detail if that would
- help, as you raised earlier. Yuval-SolarEdge (talk) 10:48, 23 September 2026 (UTC)
Partly done: Incorporated some of the sentence on the company's history. The rest is too promotional or unbalanced for the lead section. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 00:11, 24 September 2026 (UTC)
