SolarEdge Technologies Inc., a global provider of smart energy technology, has announced a significant milestone in its U.S. manufacturing efforts with the production of its 250,000th solar inverter at the Flex facility in Austin, Texas. This development marks an important step in the company’s strategy to strengthen domestic manufacturing, enhance energy resilience, and support job creation across the United States.
In recognition of this achievement, Texas Governor Greg Abbott has officially designated June 2, 2025, as “SolarEdge-Flex Manufacturing Milestone Day,” acknowledging the economic, environmental, and technological contributions of the partnership between SolarEdge and Flex in the state. SolarEdge has focused on localizing its manufacturing operations and has collaborated with Flex, a global manufacturing leader headquartered in Austin, to build a reliable domestic supply chain. The Austin facility has now produced a quarter of a million inverters that are used in rooftop solar installations throughout the country.
These new units will add to the millions of SolarEdge products already in use on more than 3.7 million homes and by over half of the Fortune 100 companies. The manufacturing site has played a central role in advancing clean energy deployment while creating over 1,000 skilled jobs in Texas. It has also helped improve product availability and supply reliability for solar installers nationwide. The use of advanced manufacturing technologies, including automation and robotics, has enabled efficient and high-quality production.
Governor Abbott said in a statement, “Texas leads the nation in advanced manufacturing and energy innovation. The collaboration between SolarEdge and Flex reinforces our state’s position as the energy capital of the world. These innovative companies help create good-paying jobs, drive economic growth, and meet growing energy demands with products proudly made in Texas.”
Marty Rogers, General Manager, SolarEdge, stated, “This milestone is a testament to the power of American manufacturing. Together with Flex, we are expanding industrial capabilities within the region and deploying advanced manufacturing technologies to meet growing demand, all while reinforcing the reliability and resilience of the U.S. energy grid.”
Dennis Kirkpatrick, President of the Lifestyle, Consumer, and Core Industrial Businesses at Flex, mentioned, “Flex’s partnership with SolarEdge highlights our shared commitment to delivering innovation to market with speed, resilience, and quality to support U.S. energy needs. We thank SolarEdge for leveraging Flex’s expansive U.S. footprint and trusting us to rapidly scale domestic production of their solar inverters in Texas.”
Additionally, by reducing dependence on imported components, the facility contributes to a stronger and more resilient U.S. energy infrastructure. As demand for renewable energy continues to rise, the work of SolarEdge and Flex in Austin represents a model for how public-private collaboration and domestic investment can drive innovation in the solar sector. Their continued efforts are helping position Texas as a key player in the country’s transition to a clean energy economy.
