SolarEdge to Cut 900 Jobs, Slashing Workforce by 16%

SolarEdge, a renewable energy company, is set to lay off 900 employees, 16% of its workforce, due to a sharp decline in revenue, with expectations of a 55% drop in fourth-quarter revenues compared to the third quarter. The company attributes this to postponed orders, cancellations, and macroeconomic challenges. SolarEdge's stock value has plummeted, falling from a record $20 billion to $3.9 billion, prompting cost-cutting measures. Despite the challenges, the company remains confident in the long-term growth of the solar energy market and its leading position in the smart energy space.
