One Company, Multiple Technologies

Some businesses might brag about being innovators. Talk is cheap — but SolarEdge Technologies stands apart because the company actually deserves to be called an innovator.

As the company explains, SolarEdge “invented an intelligent inverter solution that has changed the way power is harvested and managed in a solar photovoltaic (PV) systems.”

Moreover, the company developed the first two-in-one electric vehicle charger and solar converter.

This is a single device that functions as both an electric vehicle charger and a photovoltaic (PV) converter, so it “eliminates the need for additional wiring, conduit and a breaker installation.”

Plus, the company offers homeowners the cutting-edge SolarEdge Energy Bank. This efficient storage platform maximizes the use of solar energy year-round, even during outages.

This isn’t even a complete description of SolarEdge’s product and service lineup. Still, this leads us to the billion-dollar question: has SolarEdge been able to effectively monetize its breakthrough solar-industry technology?

Generating Unprecedented Demand

In light of SolarEdge Technologies’ fourth-quarter and full-year 2021 fiscal results, it’s evident that the company is moving products and raking in the revenue.

As CEO Zvi Lando put it, “The global demand for solar energy across all segments and geographies is extremely strong and generating unprecedented demand for our products.”

The data clearly supports Lando’s claims. First of all, SolarEdge Technologies managed to ship 1.92 Gigawatts (AC) of inverters in Q4, and 7.2 Gigawatts (AC) of inverters in full-year 2021.

This magnitude of throughput, without a doubt, contributed to SolarEdge achieving record Q4 and full-year 2021 revenue. More specifically, the company reported $551.9 million in the fourth quarter, and $1.96 billion in revenue in all of 2021.

That $1.96 billion represents a 34.6% year-over-year improvement over 2020’s revenue total. Also in 2021, SolarEdge generated record revenue in the company’s solar segment, totaling $1.79 billion for the year.

The Takeaway

There are companies that boast about being ESG-friendly, and they might tout their ability to monetize their business models.

SolarEdge Technologies actually has the numbers to cement its leadership position as a solar-tech disruptor. Besides, the company is breaking its own records in terms of revenue generation.

Hence, SEDG stock is worth a look, even if it’s over $300 per share. Really, a stake in SolarEdge Technologies should be worth the price of admission, as it can help to future-proof your portfolio as the solar revolution moves forward.
