SolarEdge Customer Service Hours — Expert Guide
Executive summary
SolarEdge Technologies (founded 2006, NASDAQ: SEDG; IPO 2015) supports millions of distributed PV installations via a combination of installer-partner networks, online monitoring and regional customer service centers. Understanding actual customer service hours is critical for troubleshooting performance issues, warranty claims and arranging RMA shipping. This guide explains what hours to expect by region, how SolarEdge routes requests, typical response times, and the exact places to verify up-to-date contact hours and phone numbers.
Key facts you can rely on: SolarEdge’s online Monitoring Platform (https://monitoring.solaredge.com) operates 24/7 for telemetry and alarms; warranty terms are typically 12 years for inverters (extendable to 20 or 25 years) and 25 years for power optimizers; and most live support functions are regionalized with business-hour coverage rather than global 24/7 phone lines. Always confirm hours on the official site (https://www.solaredge.com) before scheduling field service or shipping replacements.
Channels of support and typical hours (regional patterns)
SolarEdge uses multiple channels: installer/partner support (first line), regional call centers, online support portal and monitoring-based remote diagnosis. As a general pattern (as of mid‑2024), live phone and email support are provided Monday through Friday during local business hours in each region: North America (typically 8:30–17:30 local time), EMEA (typically 9:00–17:00 CET) and APAC (typically 9:00–18:00 local time). These hours vary by country and may include extended hours for large markets or for enterprise accounts; weekend coverage is uncommon for standard residential inquiries.
For grid-safety or urgent system-safety conditions, SolarEdge recommends contacting your certified installer immediately; installers frequently have escalation privileges with SolarEdge that result in faster RMA approvals. The SolarEdge Monitoring Platform provides 24/7 alarms, but human response to an alarm will normally follow the regional service hours unless the account has a commercial support SLA that specifies after-hours response.
Warranty claims, RMA and emergency response timelines
Typical warranty terms that affect support interactions: inverters ship with a 12‑year warranty by default (many models can be extended to 20 or 25 years for an additional fee), and power optimizers commonly carry a 25‑year warranty. When you contact SolarEdge about a warranty issue, expect the following operational timeline in many regions: initial case creation and remote diagnostics within 1–3 business days, RMA approval (if required) in 2–7 business days, and replacement shipping within 3–14 business days depending on stock and region. For simple firmware or commissioning issues, resolution can be same-day if within business hours.
Be aware: out-of-warranty repairs or expedited shipping incur costs. Typical replacement inverter retail prices (2023–2024) for residential units ranged from about $600–$2,500 depending on model and power rating; labor and shipping add to the final cost. SolarEdge or your installer will quote an exact repair or replacement price once diagnostics are complete. For commercial accounts, SolarEdge sometimes offers escalated SLAs with guaranteed response windows and on-site troubleshooting options.
How to find the exact hours, numbers and local offices
Always verify localized support hours and the correct phone number on SolarEdge’s official “Contact” or “Support” pages. The corporate site is https://www.solaredge.com and the monitoring platform is https://monitoring.solaredge.com. From the corporate site use “Support → Contact Us” and choose your country/region to display the exact service hours, phone numbers and regional office addresses. Public corporate location: SolarEdge is headquartered in Herzliya Pituach, Israel, with regional offices in North America, Europe and APAC — specific street addresses and phone numbers are listed per region on the site.
For installers and authorized service providers, the SolarEdge Partner Portal and Installer Support pages often show additional contact channels (dedicated hotlines, chat and ticketing) and faster routing. If you are an end customer, SolarEdge’s web support will often direct you to your original installer first — this is by design to ensure warranty compliance and accurate field verification. For enterprise or large portfolios, account managers provide direct SLAs and contact hours in the customer contract.
Practical checklist before calling SolarEdge
- Document system identifiers: inverter model, serial number and site ID (found on the inverter label and in the Monitoring Platform). This speeds case creation and reduces call time.
- Collect telemetry and error codes: export the last 7 days of site logs from monitoring.solaredge.com or take screenshots of the inverter display (error codes like “C1xx” or “E5xx” are diagnostic). Note the exact timestamps of the fault.
- Confirm warranty status: have the inverter purchase/installation date and installer name ready. Warranty-eligible replacements are handled differently than out-of-warranty repairs.
- Check local support hours: go to https://www.solaredge.com → Support → Contact and choose your country. If you are an installer, log in to the Partner Portal for priority contacts.
Costs, SLAs and best practices
Expect differences between free-level support and paid SLAs. Standard support for residential users is generally free but limited to business hours; out-of-warranty parts, expedited shipping and on-site technician dispatches are billed. For commercial deployments, SolarEdge and its distribution partners offer paid SLA tiers (response windows in hours, guaranteed parts availability) — these are contract items negotiated at procurement or later as a maintenance add-on.
Best practice: register your system in the SolarEdge Monitoring Platform at installation, keep your installer’s contact info current, and note warranty extension options (20 or 25-year inverter warranties are purchasable in many markets). For immediate diagnostics outside business hours, rely on the monitoring portal’s alarms and defer human escalation to the next business window unless there is a confirmed hazard to property or personnel.
