2024 Company Restructuring Plan: In response to challenging industry conditions, SolarEdge implemented a restructuring plan that encompassed various measures. These included reducing manufacturing capacity in some regions, enhancing operating efficiency, and the closure of the company’s Energy Storage Division and LCV e-Mobility activity. Additionally, the Company announced an involuntary workforce reduction in January, July, and November 2024, as well as in January 2025. Overall, this process resulted in a reduction of approximately 30% of the Company’s total workforce at the end of 2024 when compared to end of 2023 figures. These decisions were made to better align the Company with current market conditions.
SolarEdge undertook the following steps to assist employees who were let go:
An HR taskforce made significant strides to find new roles within the company for talented employees whose position became redundant in the current state of business
In several regions , affected employees were offered an outplacement service proposing support and guidance to help them successfully transition to the next stage of their career.
In addition, employees in certain regions were offered subsidized mental health services- provided for those seeking it by external expert providers.
The SolarEdge HR team has maintained contact with several companies and actively helped to connect them with redundant employees who could fit their recruiting needs.
Talent pipeline development strategy: We take positive measures to prepare for additional recruiting needs in the upcoming years. These workforce needs are determined based both on the multi-year business plans of the company, and on the annual manpower needs review process conducted with all company departments as part of our annual budget planning. Our recruitment department uses both internal resources and external services to continuously develop a pool of potential candidates (both from within the company and externally) with relevant skills and experience that complement our current and future needs. This pool is continuously adjusted by the changing identified recruitment needs. Our internal mobility program (detailed below) also helps us to meet our updated talent requirements. Junior and Student employees hired by SolarEdge receive company-specific role training to help succeed in their first role.
Moving forward, we aim to continue defining and implementing actions to create a robust leaders pipeline for SolarEdge.
Leadership development planning: In recent years. we've rolled out a formal talent pipeline development strategy specifically targeting senior roles across all divisions, aiming to:
Identify individuals with potential to fill key business leadership positions.
Map organizational gaps, forecast hiring needs, actively develop new pools of talent.
Build customized personal plans to provide critical development experiences to those who can move into key roles.

The Company’s global workforce numbered



Roles with an already established career path account for 40% of the total SolarEdge global workforce
Career Path Mapping: In recent years, we have developed specific career path frameworks to support the professional and managerial development of our global service, IT, Q&R and ATE departments and most employees in our global R&D department (including Hardware, Software, Embedded, Mechanics and additional sub-departments). We identified the need to create clarity about career paths and enable managers and employees to effectively plan personal development, while also supporting the retention and engagement of our employees at a local and global level. As part of this process, development opportunities are defined for main roles, by defining the skills and experience needed to advance in a technical or a management capacity (or those needed to switch between these paths). The internal transparency regarding the skills and experience needed for each role expands the options for internal mobility, as employees have better clarity regarding potential new roles and their related requirements. The career path mapping process also assists with managing our talent pipeline and management reserve development, with more potential future internal candidates developing specific skills required to fill-in future company workforce needs. Another goal of the career path process is to enhance the professionalism, progress, and success of our different departments, by promoting a culture of learning and knowledge development within the organization.
Annual Performance Reviews: Our performance management process is designed to align employees' goals to the Company objectives, drive excellence and employee development. At the beginning of each year, annual personal goals are set for each employee, taking into account the business objectives of the specific Company department and team, overall company focus areas, and personal development targets. As part of the annual performance review process, our employees receive feedback from their managers (both direct and matrix managers), examine the extent to which their personal targets have been met, and can plan their next career moves and professional development. In 2024, 73% of SolarEdge’s global employees (at the end of the year) received formal performance reviews. This included the grand majority of eligible employees[1]. In addition to the annual process, the Company encourages a continuous open dialogue throughout the entire year, to help meet the same targets.
Onboarding: Our onboarding practices aim to better familiarize our new employees with SolarEdge’s business, values, and culture. New employees are also familiarized with SolarEdge's advanced technologies and extensive product portfolio, providing them with the professional knowledge needed to best perform their new role. The new employees are assigned to an onboarding program by their direct managers, tailored specifically for their roles, including necessary professional training and introductory meetings with main internal colleagues. New employees are often also assigned a ‘buddy’ who is a more veteran employee already familiar with the Company, to help with the first steps of the SolarEdge career.
Internal mobility: Our Internal Mobility program is designed to encourage internal recruitment and provide exciting career and personal development opportunities to our expanding workforce. Current SolarEdge employees can apply to any open position, assuming they have been with the Company for at least two years and are performing satisfactorily in their current role. In 2024, over 190 positions were filled by internal candidates, representing 24% of our open positions filled during the year. In addition, over 280 employees were promoted to roles of greater responsibility.
Hiring students: We encourage students to work part-time at SolarEdge while they continue their studies to prepare them for potentially joining the company upon completion of their degree. In 2024, a total of 20 student employees that graduated throughout the year were subsequently promoted to full-time SolarEdge employees.

We rely on the success of our recruitment efforts to attract and retain technically skilled people who can support our ongoing innovation and expansion. We aim to be inclusive in our hiring practices, focusing on the best talent for each role and welcoming individuals of all perspectives and backgrounds.
Candidate Referrals from employees already working in SolarEdge are commonly used by our recruitment department, with many existing employees recommending the company as a favorable place of work to their friends and peers.

The 2024 performance review % of total employees figure has significantly decreased compared with 2022 and 2023. The main reason for the decrease is the inclusion of some of the 2024 end-of-year employees in the early 2025 restructuring of our workforce. We aim to return to higher performance review coverage levels moving forward
