SolarEdge Technologies, Inc, and Summit Ridge Energy (SRE), a prominent player in the commercial solar industry, have announced a strategic partnership focused on the deployment of SolarEdge’s American-manufactured inverters and Power Optimizers. These products, produced in Tampa, Florida, will be a cornerstone of SRE’s efforts to standardize rooftop solar installations across the U.S. The collaboration is poised to drive solar energy capacity with an estimated 100MW+ of installations. With a growing development pipeline, SRE anticipates significant expansion in the years to come. Initial shipments from the Florida manufacturing facility are expected to commence in April 2025.
“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,” said Mike Dillon, Senior Vice President of Operations at Summit Ridge Energy. “Together with SolarEdge, we’re proud to be investing in a future of American energy independence and a strengthened economy.”
With this alliance, SolarEdge further extends its domestic manufacturing presence, reinforcing its position as a key player in the U.S. solar market. SolarEdge’s inverters and Power Optimizers are specifically designed to meet the needs of independent power producers like Summit Ridge, who can now source critical solar components from within the U.S., aligning with the national push for energy independence and local job creation.
