MILPITAS, Calif. - SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: SEDG), a smart energy technology company, reported fourth-quarter 2024 financial results that showed a wider-than-expected loss but beat revenue estimates. The company's stock was unchanged in response to the results.
The fourth quarter results included a $138 million write-down and impairment of various assets, impacting both GAAP and non-GAAP financials. Despite this, SolarEdge reported positive free cash flow of $25.5 million for the quarter, compared to a deficit of $136.7 million in the prior year.
The return to positive free cash flow generation in Q4 is a solid first step, and we expect to be free cash flow positive in Q1 2025 and for the full year 2025." For the first quarter of 2025, SolarEdge expects revenue to be between $195 million and $215 million, compared to the analyst consensus of $207.9 million.

France has proudly reached a new historic peak in electricity exports, with a net balance of 89 terawatt-hours (TWh), surpassing the previous record of 77 TWh set in 2002. This performance highlights the resurgence of French electricity in European markets, thanks to predominantly low-carbon production.
In 2024, France exported a record level of electricity, thanks to abundant decarbonised power generation, according to a report published by the French power transmission system operator (TSO) RTE.
New analysis by Montel EnAppSys shows that France exported almost 50TWh more than it imported in 2023 having become a net importer in 2022 for the first time in more than 40 years. This analysis describes the value of power imports and exports in Europe during the last six months of the year, comparing it with data from the first half of 2023.
France was the biggest net exporter of power in Europe last year due to low demand and the return of much of the country's nuclear fleet. New analysis by Montel EnAppSys shows that France exported almost 50TWh more than it imported in 2023 having become a net importer in 2022 for the first time in more than 40 years.
The U.S. energy storage market set a first-quarter record for capacity installed in Q1 2024, with 1,265 megawatts (MW) deployed across all segments. This marks the highest storage capacity ever installed in a first quarter in the U.S., representing an 84% increase from Q1 2023.
US energy storage set a Q1 record in 2025 with 2 GW added, but looming policy changes could put that growth at serious risk.
That makes Q1 2025 the biggest first quarter for energy storage in US history. The surge was led by utility-scale projects, which accounted for over 1.5 GW of the new capacity, a 57% jump compared to Q1 2024. Surging energy demand is putting the electric grid under strain,” said John Hensley, SVP of markets and policy analysis at ACP.
The contemporary global energy landscape is characterized by a growing demand for efficient and sustainable energy storage solutions. Electrochemical energy storage technologies have emerged as pivotal players in addressing this demand, offering versatile and environmentally friendly means to store and harness electrical energy.
