SolarEdge Technologies $55MSecurities Settlement, Check If You Qualify for a Payment, File your claim by August 17, In re SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation, No. 1:23-cv-09748-GHW-OTW
The SolarEdge Technologies securities settlement is a $55,000,000 class action resolution where eligible investors who bought SEDG common stock between February 13, 2023 and October 19, 2023 can recover a portion of their losses by filing a claim at SolarEdgeSecuritiesLitigation.com before August 17, 2026. Investors sued SolarEdge and four of its former executives, alleging the company concealed serious inventory problems in Europe while publicly projecting strong demand — a picture that collapsed twice over eight months, each time taking the stock price sharply lower with it.

Who Is SolarEdge Technologies and Why Are They Facing a Securities Fraud Settlement?
SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. is an energy technology company headquartered in Herzliya Pituach, Israel that operates in the United States, Europe, and internationally, offering power optimizers, DC-to-AC inverters, storage solutions, EV chargers, and a cloud-based monitoring platform. The company trades on the Nasdaq under the ticker SEDG. This lawsuit matters to investors because SolarEdge leaned heavily on its European solar market as a growth story — and the complaint says the company painted a far rosier picture of that market than the underlying reality warranted.
What Did SolarEdge Tell SEDG Investors About Its European Business From February to October 2023?
The complaint alleges that SolarEdge, along with its former executives Zvi Lando (CEO), Ronen Faier, Lior Danziger, and J.B. Lowe, violated federal securities laws by making misrepresentations and omissions of material fact in public statements concerning channel inventory levels of SolarEdge’s products and demand for those products in Europe, causing damage to investors who purchased SEDG common stock during the class period.
In plain English: the lawsuit says SolarEdge knew its European distribution channels were filling up with unsold inventory and that orders were being canceled — but kept telling investors that European demand was healthy and that the company was on track to hit its guidance. When the truth came out, it came out in two brutal waves.
The Court denied SolarEdge’s motion to dismiss the complaint in part on April 6, 2025, finding that plaintiffs sufficiently alleged that defendants’ statements contained misrepresentations and omissions of material fact about channel inventory levels and European demand. That ruling, which survived a full legal challenge from SolarEdge, significantly strengthened the investors’ position before both sides agreed to settle.
To understand how securities fraud settlements of this size are calculated and distributed, you can read our coverage of the Rivian $250M securities class action settlement, where investors alleged similar misrepresentations about production capacity that artificially inflated stock prices. For context on how energy sector securities cases specifically unfold through the courts, our article on the PG&E $100M securities settlement shows how investor losses from corporate misstatements about operational risk can result in substantial recoveries.
The Two SolarEdge Disclosures That Sent SEDG Stock Lower — August 2, 2023 and October 19–20, 2023
Drop Event 1 — August 2, 2023
SolarEdge released its Q2 2023 earnings after market close on August 1, 2023. While headline revenues of $991.3 million set a record, the earnings call revealed a cash-flow-from-operations loss of $88.7 million and a $110 million inventory build — early signs the channel was bloating. Management also guided Q3 revenues significantly lower, in the range of $880 million to $920 million, with compressed margins. Shares of SolarEdge fell by as much as 20% in trading the following day, August 2, 2023. The complaint identifies this as the moment the alleged truth about inventory conditions began entering the market.
Drop Event 2 — October 19–20, 2023
On October 19, 2023, SolarEdge issued a preliminary Q3 earnings release before the market close. CEO Zvi Lando disclosed that during the second part of Q3, the company experienced substantial unexpected cancellations and pushouts of existing backlog from European distributors, which it attributed to higher than expected inventory in the channels and slower than expected installation rates. Q3 revenue was now expected in the range of $720 million to $730 million — versus a prior guidance of $880 million to $920 million. Adjusted gross margins collapsed to 20.1%–21.1% from a prior forecast of 28%–31%. Adjusted operating income was projected at just $12 million to $31 million, against earlier guidance of $115 million to $135 million.
SEDG dropped 5.63% from $120.78 to $113.98 on October 19, 2023, when the preliminary results first hit. The following day, October 20, 2023, shares fell another 27.27% — from $113.98 to $82.90 — as the full scale of the European inventory collapse became clear to the market.
If you owned SEDG shares during any part of the class period — February 13, 2023 through October 19, 2023 — and held through either of these drops, this settlement may directly affect your investment account.
Who Qualifies for the SolarEdge SEDG Securities Settlement?
Here is exactly how to know if this settlement includes you.
You may qualify if:
- Investors who purchased or otherwise acquired SolarEdge Technologies (SEDG) common stock on Nasdaq between February 13, 2023 and October 19, 2023, inclusive
- Anyone who suffered a financial loss when SEDG declined following the August 2, 2023 earnings reaction or the October 19–20, 2023 preliminary results disclosure
- Those who held shares through either or both corrective disclosure periods — August 2, 2023 and/or October 19–20, 2023 — when the alleged truth entered the market
- Institutions, pension funds, and individual retail investors alike are all potentially eligible
You do not qualify if:
- You are a defendant in the case — SolarEdge itself, or former executives Zvi Lando, Ronen Faier, Lior Danziger, or J.B. Lowe
- You are an officer or director of SolarEdge, or an immediate family member of the individual defendants
- You are an affiliate, subsidiary, or entity in which SolarEdge had a controlling interest during the class period
- You submit a valid request to be excluded from the settlement by August 3, 2026
SolarEdge SEDG Investors Outside New York — Are You Still Covered?
Yes. The case is a federal securities class action filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Federal securities laws apply nationwide. Whether you bought SEDG shares in California, Texas, Florida, or any other state, your location does not affect your eligibility. Any investor who purchased SEDG common stock during the class period on a U.S. exchange and was damaged is included in the settlement class.
If you are unsure whether your SEDG transactions qualify for the SolarEdge securities settlement, a free consultation with a securities fraud attorney can help you assess your situation before the August 17, 2026 claim deadline.
How Much Can SolarEdge SEDG Investors Recover From the $55,000,000 Settlement?
The settlement represents an estimated average recovery of $2.06 per share for the approximately 26.7 million shares of publicly-traded SEDG common stock damaged during the class period. After deductions for attorneys’ fees, litigation expenses, and administration costs — estimated at approximately $0.57 per share — the estimated average net recovery is approximately $1.49 per share.
These are averages. Your actual recovery depends on:
- When exactly you purchased SEDG during the class period and at what price
- Whether you sold before, during, or after the corrective disclosure periods
- The total number and size of valid claims filed by all class members
- The Court’s final award for attorneys’ fees and expenses
Pomerantz LLP, as lead counsel, intends to ask the Court to award fees of up to 25% of the settlement amount, plus up to $750,000 in litigation expenses, up to $230,000 in compensatory awards to the named plaintiffs, and up to $500,000 in notice and administration expenses. If approved, these amounts will be paid from the settlement fund.
How Pro-Rata Could Reduce Your SolarEdge SEDG Check
Your payment is your share of the net settlement fund — calculated by dividing your individual recognized losses by the total recognized losses of all valid claimants, then multiplying by the net fund. If more investors file than expected, every individual payment decreases proportionally. Filing early does not increase your payment, but failing to file means you receive nothing.
Settlements over $600 may be reported to the IRS. Tax treatment of securities class action settlements varies — payments may be treated as a return of capital or as income depending on your individual circumstances. Consult a tax professional when your payment arrives.
How to File Your SolarEdge SEDG Securities Settlement Claim — Step by Step
Step 1 — Go to www.SolarEdgeSecuritiesLitigation.com and click the claim submission link, or download the PDF claim form to mail it.
Step 2 — Enter your full legal name, address, taxpayer identification number or Social Security number (last four digits), and contact information.
Step 3 — Identify every SEDG common stock transaction during the class period: February 13, 2023 through October 19, 2023. You will need purchase dates, number of shares, and prices paid.
Step 4 — Upload or attach proof of your transactions. Brokerage statements and trade confirmation slips are the standard documents accepted. Self-created spreadsheets or screenshots alone are generally insufficient — use official account statements.
Step 5 — Complete the release section of the claim form, which confirms you are giving up your individual right to sue SolarEdge over these class period claims in exchange for your settlement payment.
Step 6 — Submit online by August 17, 2026, or mail your form postmarked no later than August 17, 2026 to: SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation, c/o Claims Administrator, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Save your confirmation number.
Takes about 10–15 minutes if your brokerage records are accessible.
Should SolarEdge Class Members Opt Out or Object Before August 3, 2026?
What Does Opting Out of the SolarEdge SEDG Securities Settlement Mean for Your Rights?
Excluding yourself from the settlement means you will receive no payment, but you retain the right to sue SolarEdge and the individual defendants separately over the claims in this case. This option only makes sense if you suffered unusually large, well-documented losses and have spoken with a securities fraud attorney who believes an individual case is viable. For most investors, opting out means receiving nothing while forfeiting the certainty of a settlement payment. Requests for exclusion must be received by August 3, 2026.
How to Object to the SolarEdge Settlement Terms Before August 3, 2026
Objecting means telling the court you believe the settlement terms are unfair — while still remaining in the class and still being eligible to submit a claim form. Written objections must be received by the Court and counsel by August 3, 2026. Send your written objection to: SolarEdge Technologies, Inc. Securities Litigation, c/o Claims Administrator, 1650 Arch Street, Suite 2210, Philadelphia, PA 19103. Your objection must identify the case name and number, your full name and contact information, your grounds for objecting, and proof of class membership.
If you are considering opting out or objecting, speaking with a class action lawsuit attorney before August 3, 2026 is strongly recommended.

SolarEdge Technologies Securities Settlement — Frequently Asked Questions, No. 1:23-cv-09748-GHW-OTW
Do I need a lawyer to file a SolarEdge SEDG securities settlement claim?
No. Pomerantz LLP has been appointed lead counsel for the settlement class and will represent all class members in this case. You can file your claim directly at SolarEdgeSecuritiesLitigation.com without hiring your own attorney. However, if you have a large position or complex transactions, consulting a securities fraud attorney before filing can help ensure your recognized loss is calculated correctly.
Is the SolarEdge securities settlement legitimate?
Yes. The settlement was authorized by the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The stipulation was entered into on April 21, 2026. This is not attorney advertising. The administrator is Angeion Group, a nationally recognized claims administrator used across major federal class actions.
When will SolarEdge SEDG settlement payments be sent?
The final approval hearing is scheduled for August 24, 2026. After that, there may be appeals, which can take time to resolve. Settlement payments will be distributed after the settlement is finally approved and any appeals are resolved in favor of the settlement. Realistically, expect payments no earlier than late 2026, and potentially into 2027 if any appeals are filed.
What happens if I miss the August 17, 2026 SolarEdge claim deadline?
If you do not submit a claim form, you will receive no payment from the settlement. If you do nothing, you give up your rights to bring your own individual action. Late claims are generally rejected by the administrator. August 17, 2026 is a hard deadline.
Will my SolarEdge settlement payment be reported to the IRS?
Possibly. Securities class action settlement payments may be treated as a return of capital up to your cost basis, with any excess potentially taxable as a capital gain. The tax treatment depends on your individual holding period, cost basis, and the nature of the payment. Consult a tax professional when payments are distributed.
What specific laws does SolarEdge allegedly violate in this settlement?
The complaint alleges that defendants violated provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including Sections 10(b) and 20(a), as well as Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder. These provisions prohibit companies and their executives from making materially false or misleading statements to investors, or from omitting facts necessary to make public statements not misleading.
How much could I receive from the SolarEdge $55 million settlement?
The estimated average gross recovery is approximately $2.06 per damaged share. After deductions for fees and expenses, the estimated average net recovery is approximately $1.49 per share. Your actual payment depends on your specific purchase and sale prices, the timing of your transactions relative to the two corrective disclosure events, and how many total valid claims are filed. These figures are estimates — not guarantees. A securities fraud attorney can help you calculate your specific recognized loss before you file.
Can I file my own separate lawsuit against SolarEdge instead of joining the settlement class?
Only if you formally opt out. Excluding yourself from the settlement is the only option that allows you to sue SolarEdge or any other defendants about the legal claims that were or could have been asserted in this action. Opt-out requests must be received on or before August 3, 2026. Opting out means no settlement payment — and pursuing individual litigation is expensive, time-consuming, and carries no guarantee of a greater recovery.
