While in the United States, higher interest rates and a metering reform in California, the country's largest solar market, have dented demand for solar.
SolarEdge had trimmed its third-quarter revenue expectations last month due to high inventories and a slowdown in installation which led to substantial cancellations and backlog clearing from its European distributors in the quarter.
Peer Enphase (ENPH.O) had also forecast a weak fourth- quarter revenue.
