SolarEdge Shares Rise 3.66% as Revised Tax Rules and EV Expansion Drive Momentum Ranked 408th in 230M Volume

SolarEdge Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:SEDG) rose 3.66% on August 18, 2025, with a trading volume of $230 million, ranking 408th in market activity. The move followed revised U.S. Treasury guidance on clean energy tax credits that eased sector-wide uncertainty. The updated rules eliminated the 5% investment threshold for projects over 1.5 megawatts but preserved the "safe harbor" provision for smaller installations, a core segment for SolarEdge. The regulatory clarity reduced risk perceptions for residential and commercial solar providers, which account for a significant portion of the company’s revenue.

The Treasury’s decision coincided with SolarEdge’s recent partnership to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Europe, reinforcing investor confidence in its growth trajectory. While broader market sentiment remained cautious ahead of Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell’s Jackson Hole speech, solar stocks outperformed as inflation data showed persistent cost pressures. SolarEdge’s shares remain near their 52-week high, reflecting strong demand for renewable energy solutions amid policy tailwinds.

The strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to present yielded a total profit of $10,720, demonstrating modest returns despite market volatility. This aligns with SolarEdge’s performance, which has seen 97 price swings exceeding 5% in the past year, underscoring its cyclical exposure to regulatory and macroeconomic shifts.
