SolarEdge Technologies, a solar power equipment maker, announced Monday that it would be slashing 400 more jobs following the dismissal of 500 workers a little more than a month ago as the company looks to save expenses amid struggles for the solar energy market.

In a 8-K filing on Monday, the company said to align with current market conditions and reduce operating expenses it expects to "reduce its headcount by approximately 400 employees globally." Most of the layoffs will be completed by the first quarter of fiscal 2025. SolarEdge said in the filing the cuts eventually will lead to a quarterly reduction in expenses of approximately $9 million to $11 million.

Back in late November, SolarEdge announced a plan to discontinue its energy storage unit and reduce head count by about 500 employees, primarily those working in South Korea. The cuts announced in November represented about 12% of its overall workforce.

The stock has lost more than 81% in value over the past year. It was up 19% to $18.23 in premarket trading on Monday.

SolarEdge, a producer and installer of technology for solar panels, and the solar sector has suffered as fewer consumers are opting for residential solar amid high interest rates and inflationary pressures.
