SolarEdge's current financial challenges, including tight liquidity, a challenging earnings outlook, and increased competition, are highlighted as concerns. Analysts note that utility scale companies currently exhibit more robust balance sheets and more attainable consensus estimates, positioning them favorably. There is also caution expressed towards the residential solar sector due to its reliance on incentives and comparative financial inflexibility.
