In today’s world, as we face challenges such as climate change, global pollution, and the necessary energy transition driven by a network of intertwined factors, SolarEdge stands out as a leader in renewable energy. With the growing demand for electricity and the increasing number of electric devices and vehicles on the roads, it is becoming increasingly challenging to track consumption and identify opportunities for savings. SolarEdge offers a range of solutions to address this situation.
With more than 4.1 million monitored systems worldwide, SolarEdge has become a monumental player in energy consumption optimization and system safety, reducing risks of fires and other high-voltage incidents. Their DC-Optimized technology redefines the future of the energy sector, setting new standards for efficient solar energy production and management.
Among its many achievements, SolarEdge enables homeowners to generate solar energy and store and manage it in the most efficient ways, thanks to an operating system that creates personalized energy programs based on budgets, energy lifestyles, appliances, and other data. With the help of a suite of applications, homeowners can monitor all aspects of their systems. With over 3.4 million installed residential solar systems, the company demonstrates the practical application of its innovations.
The company’s global presence is evident through its operations in more than 140 countries, with over 4,200 employees and 55 GW of installed equipment. SolarEdge systems enable an annual reduction of 40 million tons of greenhouse gas emissions, equivalent to the yearly CO2 emissions of some of the world’s most prominent cities.
Furthermore, the company upholds numerous values, with over 165 women in leadership roles. SolarEdge showcases its commitment to social responsibility and sustainable resource management by recycling 83 percent of its waste.
Thus, SolarEdge is not only a solar industry company but also a key player in the global energy revolution, as our interview with Jernej Blaj, Sales Manager for the Western Balkans, confirmed.
