GENERAL
NOTE 1:       GENERAL
 
  a.
SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries design, develop, and sell an intelligent inverter solution designed to maximize power generation at the individual photovoltaic (“PV”) module level while lowering the cost of energy produced by the solar PV system and providing comprehensive and advanced safety features. The Company’s products consist mainly of (i) power optimizers designed to maximize energy throughput from each and every module through constant tracking of Maximum Power Point individually per module, (ii) inverters which invert direct current ("DC") from the PV module to alternating current ("AC") including the Company’s future ready Energy Hub inverter which supports, among other things, connection to a DC-coupled battery for full or partial home backup capabilities, and optional connection to the Company's smart EV charger, (iii) a remote cloud-based monitoring platform, that collects and processes information from the power optimizers and inverters to enable customers and system owners, to monitor and manage the solar PV system (iv) batteries for PV applications that are used to increase energy independence and maximize self-consumption for PV system's owners including a battery and (v) additional smart energy management solutions.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries sell products worldwide through large distributors, electrical equipment wholesalers, as well as directly to large solar installers and engineering, procurement, and construction firms.
 
  b.
The Company has expanded its activity to other areas of smart energy technology organically and through acquisitions. The Company offers a variety of energy solutions, which include lithium-ion cells, batteries, and energy storage systems (“Energy Storage”), automated machines for industrial use (“Automation Machines”), as well as cloud-based energy management solutions.
 
  c.
Basis of Presentation:
 
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). In management’s opinion, the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Company’s interim period results do not necessarily indicate the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full fiscal year.
 
The significant accounting policies applied in the annual consolidated financial statements of the Company as of December 31, 2023, contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 26, 2024, have been applied consistently in these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.
 
  d.
Use of estimates:
 
The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses, government grants, income taxes and related disclosures in the accompanying notes. Actual results and outcomes may differ from management’s estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties.
 
 
e.
In accordance with ASC 360-10, the Company records impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that long-lived assets may be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. During the third quarter of 2024, the Company's share price continued to deteriorate and a major slowdown in operations occurred, leading the Company to perform an impairment test. For detailed information on impairments related to long-lived assets, refer to Notes 7 and 8.

 

  f.
Concentrations of supply risks:
 
The Company depends on two contract manufacturers and several limited or single source component suppliers. Reliance on these vendors makes the Company vulnerable to possible capacity constraints and reduced control over component availability, delivery schedules, manufacturing yields, and costs.
 
As of September 30, 2024 none of the Company's contract manufacturers account for more than 10% of the Company’s total trade payables, net.
 
As of December 31, 2023, two contract manufacturers collectively accounted for 58.5% of the Company’s total trade payables, net.
 
The Company's own manufacturing facility, Sella 1, located in the North of Israel, is primarily used in the Company's Solar segment operations. Additionally, Sella 2, a Company owned manufacturing facility in South Korea, together with a smaller Company owned facility, are used for the Energy Storage segment.
 
  g.
New accounting standards updates:
 
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). Additional segment reporting information required by ASU 2023-07 includes: disclosing the title and position of the individual or the name of the group or committee identified as the CODM, provide in interim periods all disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually, and additional disclosures regarding significant segment expenses. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Since ASU 2023-07 addresses only disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2023-07 is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). ASU 2023-09 requires additional categories of information about federal, state and foreign income taxes to be included in effective tax rate reconciliation disclosure. Additionally, the newly added categories also apply to the income taxes paid disclosure. Implementation of said additions are subject to quantitative thresholds. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Since ASU 2023-07 addresses only disclosures, the adoption of ASU 2023-07 is not expected to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.
