SolarEdge, an Israel-based solar inverters manufacturer, posted revenue of $890.7 million for the fourth quarter of the financial year 2023, a jump of 61.4% year-over-year (YoY). The performance was primarily driven by higher shipments.

The company’s solar segment recorded a 70.4% YoY growth to $857 million for the quarter.

However, SolarEdge’s consolidated net income for the October-December quarter nearly halved YoY to $20.8 million on account of intangible asset impairment amounting to $114.5 million, which included $107.4 million for e-mobility and $7.1 million for automation machines.

For the quarter, the company shipped 6.67 million power optimizers, up 30.2% YoY.

It also shipped 315,289 inverters in the quarter, which showed a 60% YoY growth. Further, the total systems shipments increased to 3.1 GW, a 63% jump YoY.

The inverter manufacturer shipped 217.6 MWh of batteries during the period, up 419% YoY.

SolarEdge has over 53,000 residential installers to date, and the company caters to the residential solar needs of customers across more than 133 countries. It owns over 2.8 million residential sites where the company targets installing solar for its customers.
