SolarEdge Technologies said its USA-made solar inverter line now complies with the Build America, Buy America (BABA) Act, pv magazine USA reported on February 28, 2025.
The details
- BABA sets a domestic content preference for federally funded infrastructure projects after May 14, 2022.
- The compliant products include 480V and 208V three-phase inverters, Synergy Technology inverters with C651U and C652U optimizers, and Home Hub single-phase inverters with U650 optimizers.
- SolarEdge said its Austin, Texas site reached a run rate above 70,000 inverters a quarter, and its Florida site was on track for 2 million optimizers a quarter.
- The company said USA manufacturing has created nearly 2,000 jobs.
Why it matters for Made in USA
Buy America rules turn USA production into access to federal work. Solar electronics are mostly made in Asia, so domestic lines that meet BABA give public projects a compliant option.
