SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. has partnered with Summit Ridge Energy (SRE), a top commercial solar company, to provide SolarEdge’s inverters and Power Optimizers. These products will be manufactured in Tampa, Florida. As part of the partnership, SRE plans to use SolarEdge’s inverters for its commercial rooftop solar installations. The projects are expected to exceed 100MW, with SRE anticipating further growth as their development pipeline expands. Shipments from the Florida facility are set to begin in April 2025.
Mike Dillon, Senior Vice President of Operations at Summit Ridge Energy, stated “This partnership with SolarEdge highlights our unwavering commitment to using American-made components in 100% of our solar energy projects. By leasing large-scale industrial rooftops across Maryland and Illinois, we’re able to enhance the resilience of local electric grids, support domestic supply chains and create valuable job opportunities for American workers. Together with SolarEdge, we’re proud to be investing in a future of American energy independence and a strengthened economy.”
Naama Ohana, Chief of C&I Division at SolarEdge, said “We are thrilled to strengthen our longstanding partnership with the team at Summit Ridge and expand our manufacturing footprint in the United States. This collaboration underscores the importance of the clean energy and advanced manufacturing credits, which help ensure the fiscal certainty to invest in local manufacturing and bring thousands of new jobs and technological expertise to American soil. Summit Ridge Energy has a steadfast commitment to U.S. energy independence and security, and we are proud to be working together to provide access to essential and best-in-class technologies, bringing more power, efficiency, and safety to the local industry.”
SolarEdge’s inverters and Power Optimizers, which are manufactured in the United States, allow independent power producers like Summit Ridge Energy to source essential solar components domestically. This enables a more localized supply chain for solar projects, supporting the growth of the industry within the U.S.
