Accounting Policies [Abstract]
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	NOTE 2 — SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orion Energy Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Orion have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 or other interim periods. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Orion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on June 12, 2024. Allowance for Credit Losses Orion performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and continuously monitors collections and payments. Orion estimates an allowance for credit losses based upon the historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We also consider customer-specific information, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions . Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, net realizable value of inventory, allowance for credit losses, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, earn-out, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Orion's cash is primarily deposited with one financial institution. At times, deposits in this institution exceeds the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Orion has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant financial institution viability risk on these balances. Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 , one supplier accounted for 14.0 % of total cost of revenue, while no suppliers accounted for more than 10 % of total cost of revenue for three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 , one customer accounted for 21.1 % of total revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 20.6 % and 11.0 % of total revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 , one customer accounted for 15.7 % and two customers accounted for 10.1 % of accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2024 , two customers accounted for 17.3 % and 11.7 % of accounts receivable. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB:) issued accounting standards updates ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. The provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for Orion for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Orion adopted ASU 2016-13 effective April 1, 2023. The effect of adoption was immaterial. Issued: Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Orion is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Orion is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.

REVENUE

REVENUE	3 Months Ended

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
REVENUE	NOTE 3 — REVENU E Orion generates revenue primarily by selling manufactured or sourced commercial lighting fixtures and components, sourced electric vehicle chargers and related products, installing these products in customer’s facilities, and providing maintenance services including repairs and replacements for the lighting and related electrical components. Orion recognizes revenue in accordance with the guidance in “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (Topic 606) when control of the goods or services being provided (which Orion refers to as a performance obligation) is transferred to a customer at an amount that reflects the consideration Orion expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The sale of charging stations and related software subscriptions, renewals and extended warranty is presented in Product revenue. Orion is the principal in the sales of charging stations as it has control of the physical products prior to transfer to the customer. Accordingly, revenue is recognized on a gross basis. For certain sales, primarily software subscriptions, renewals and extended warranty, Orion is the sales agent providing access to the content and recognize commission revenue net of amounts due to third parties who fulfill the performance obligation. For these sales, control passes at the point in time upon providing access of the content to the customer. The sale of installation and services related to the EV charging business is presented in Service revenue. Revenue from the EV segment that includes both the sale of product and service is allocated between the product and service performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, and is recorded in Product revenue and Service revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. Revenue from the lighting maintenance offering that includes both the sale of Orion manufactured or sourced product and service is allocated between the product and service performance obligations based on relative standalone selling prices, and is recorded in Product revenue and Service revenue, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. The following tables provide detail of Orion’s total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 (dollars in thousands): Three Months Ended June 30, 2024 Product Services Total Revenue from contracts with customers: Lighting product and installation $ 10,045 $ 2,674 $ 12,719 Maintenance services 1,000 2,323 3,323 Electric vehicle charging 1,688 2,142 3,830 Solar energy related revenues 15 — 15 Total revenues from contracts with customers 12,748 7,139 19,887 Revenue accounted for under other guidance 19 — 19 Total revenue $ 12,767 $ 7,139 $ 19,906 Three Months Ended June 30, 2023 Product Services Total Revenue from contracts with customers: Lighting product and installation $ 11,785 $ 831 $ 12,616 Maintenance services 899 2,855 3,754 Electric vehicle charging 982 256 1,238 Total revenues from contracts with customers 13,666 3,942 17,608 Revenue accounted for under other guidance 5 — 5 Total revenue $ 13,671 $ 3,942 $ 17,613 From time to time, Orion sells the receivables from one customer to a financing institution.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
NET LOSS INCOME PER COMMON SHARE	NOTE 11 — NET LOSS PER COMMON SHARE Basic net loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and does not consider common stock equivalents. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the dilution that would occur if restricted shares were vested. In the computation of diluted net loss per common share, Orion uses the treasury stock method for outstanding options and restricted shares. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 , Orion was in a net loss position; therefore, the Basic and Diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are equal because any increase to the basic shares would be anti-dilutive. Net loss per common share is calculated based upon the following shares: For the Three Months Ended 2024 2023 Numerator: Net loss (in thousands) $ ( 3,758 ) $ ( 6,637 ) Denominator: Weighted-average common shares outstanding 32,610,604 32,345,823 Weighted-average common shares and common share 32,610,604 32,345,823 Net loss per common share: Basic $ ( 0.12 ) $ ( 0.21 ) Diluted $ ( 0.12 ) $ ( 0.21 ) The following table indicates the number of potentially dilutive securities excluded from the calculation of Diluted net loss per common share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. The number of shares is as of the end of each period: For the Three Months Ended 2024 2023 Restricted shares 1,524,222 582,506 Total 1,524,222 582,506

The Credit Agreement provides for a five-year $ 25.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) that matures on December 29, 2025 . Borrowings under the Credit Facility are subject to a borrowing base requirement based on eligible receivables, inventory and cash. As of June 30, 2024 , the borrowing base of the Credit Facility supports $ 18.3 million of availability, with $8 .3 million of remaining availability net of $ 10.0 million borrowed. Effective November 4, 2022, Orion, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 1 to its Credit Agreement. The primary purpose of the amendment was to include the assets of the acquired subsidiaries, Stay-Lite Lighting, Inc. ("Stay-Lite Lighting") and Voltrek, as secured collateral under the Credit Agreement. Accordingly, eligible assets of Stay-Lite and Voltrek will be included in the borrowing base calculation for the purpose of establishing the monthly borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. The amendment also clarified that the earn-out liabilities associated with the Stay-Lite and Voltrek transactions are permitted under the Credit Agreement and that the expenses recognized in connection with those earn-outs should be added back in the computation of EBITDA, as defined, under the Credit Agreement. Effective April 22, 2024, the Company, with Bank of America, N.A. as lender, executed Amendment No. 2 to its Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 2”). The primary purpose of Amendment No. 2 was to add a $ 3.525 million mortgage loan facility to the Credit Agreement secured by the Company’s office headquarters property in Manitowoc, Wisconsin. Amendment No. 2 also broadened the definition of receivables to encompass government receivables as being eligible to be included in the Company’s borrowing base calculation for the purpose of establishing the Company’s monthly borrowing availability under the Credit Agreement. Quarterly installments of $ 88,125 will be due on the first day of each fiscal quarter beginning October 1, 2024.

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES	3 Months Ended

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
INCOME TAXES	NOTE 13 — INCOME TAXES Orion’s income tax provision was determined by applying an estimated annual effective tax rate, based upon the facts and circumstances known, to book income (loss) before income tax, adjusting for discrete items. Orion’s actual effective tax rate is adjusted each interim period, as appropriate, for changes in facts and circumstances. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 , Orion recorded income tax expense of $ 21 thousand and $ 42 thousand, respectively, using this methodology. As of June 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, Orion had a full valuation allowance against its net deferred tax asset balance. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the deferred tax asset would increase income in the period such determination is made. As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. Orion considers future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance. In the event that Orion determines that the more or less of its deferred tax assets are able to be realized, an adjustment to the valuation allowance would be reflected in the company’s provision for income taxes. Uncertain Tax Positions As of June 30, 2024, Orion’s balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $ 0.2 million, all of which would reduce Orion’s effective tax rate if recognized. Orion has classified the amounts recorded for uncertain tax benefits in the balance sheet as Other long-term liabilities to the extent that payment is not anticipated within one year. Orion recognizes penalties and interest related to uncertain tax liabilities in income tax (benefit) expense. Penalties and interest are included in the unrecognized tax benefits.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	3 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2024
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Orion Energy Systems, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Orion have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 or other interim periods. The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2024 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Orion’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on June 12, 2024.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses Orion performs ongoing evaluations of its customers and continuously monitors collections and payments. Orion estimates an allowance for credit losses based upon the historical collectability based on past due status and makes judgments about the creditworthiness of customers based on ongoing credit evaluations. We also consider customer-specific information, current market conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic conditions
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during that reporting period. Areas that require the use of significant management estimates include revenue recognition, net realizable value of inventory, allowance for credit losses, accruals for warranty and loss contingencies, earn-out, income taxes, impairment analyses, and certain equity transactions. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties	Concentration of Credit Risk and Other Risks and Uncertainties Orion's cash is primarily deposited with one financial institution. At times, deposits in this institution exceeds the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. Orion has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes that it is not exposed to any significant financial institution viability risk on these balances. Orion purchases components necessary for its lighting products, including lamps and LED components, from multiple suppliers. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 , one supplier accounted for 14.0 % of total cost of revenue, while no suppliers accounted for more than 10 % of total cost of revenue for three months ended June 30, 2023. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 , one customer accounted for 21.1 % of total revenue. For the three months ended June 30, 2023 , two customers accounted for 20.6 % and 11.0 % of total revenue, respectively. As of June 30, 2024 , one customer accounted for 15.7 % and two customers accounted for 10.1 % of accounts receivable. As of March 31, 2024 , two customers accounted for 17.3 % and 11.7 % of accounts receivable.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Standards In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB:) issued accounting standards updates ("ASU") No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”), which requires an entity to assess impairment of its financial instruments based on its estimate of expected credit losses. Since the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB released several amendments to improve and clarify the implementation guidance. The provisions of ASU 2016-13 and the related amendments are effective for Orion for fiscal years (and interim reporting periods within those years) beginning after December 15, 2022. Entities are required to apply these changes through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Orion adopted ASU 2016-13 effective April 1, 2023. The effect of adoption was immaterial. Issued: Not Yet Adopted In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which modifies the disclosure and presentation requirements of reportable segments. The amendments in the update require the disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (the "CODM") and included within each reported measure of segment profit and loss. The amendments also require disclosure of all other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. Additionally, the amendments require disclosure of the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. This update is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. Orion is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which expands disclosures in an entity's income tax rate reconciliation table and disclosures regarding cash taxes paid both in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. The update will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025. Orion is currently evaluating the impact that this guidance will have on the presentation of its consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes.
