Background
SolarEdge appears on boycott lists mainly because of what it is: an Israeli-founded company headquartered in Herzliya whose R&D, leadership and part of its manufacturing are in Israel. During the war that began October 7, 2023, its documented record is operational — hundreds of employees (11% of its Israeli workforce in late 2023) serving IDF reserve duty while the company kept operating. This research found no documented corporate donation to the Israeli government, military or war-related charities; reports of company support programs for reservist employees could not be verified from reliable sources. The company has since gone through deep layoffs (900 jobs cut in January 2024, including 550 in Israel) driven by a collapse in solar demand, unrelated to the war.

Timeline of documented support
Documented support
| Type | Date | Amount | Recipient | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operations in Israel | 2006 | — | Israel (headquarters, R&D and manufacturing) Israeli-founded smart-energy company: founded in 2006 by five Israeli founders led by the late Guy Sella, headquartered in Herzliya with its principal research and development center in Israel. Its SEC filings state that "our headquarters and principal research and development center are located in Israel" and that most key employees and officers are residents of Israel; it manufactures part of its products at the Sella 1 facility in northern Israel (named for its founder). | |
| Operations in Israel | 2023-11 | — | Israel (continued operations through the war; employees on IDF reserve duty) Kept Israeli operations running through the October 2023 war while a large share of its Israeli workforce served in the IDF: CEO Zvi Lando told Globes in November 2023 that over 350 employees — 11% of the Israel workforce — were serving in the army reserves, and SEC filings report continued call-ups (about 6.8% of Israel employees in Q1 2026) with offices and facilities in Israel remaining open and no material disruption to manufacturing and delivery. The reserve service is the employees' state-mandated duty, not a corporate donation. |
