SEG Solar, a leading U.S. photovoltaic manufacturer, has opened its PV manufacturing base in Houston, Texas.
SEG Solar is making an investment of approximately $60 million for the 250,000 square feet production facility. SEG Solar’s manufacturing base in Houston will have an annual capacity of 2GW. SEG Solar will be producing the latest high-efficiency N-type solar modules.
SEG Solar has also rolled out the first 585W YUKON N series from off the production line, establishing SEG as one of the first manufacturers to achieve module production in the United States.
The production lines are compatible with 182mm and 210mm N-type cells and are equipped with fully automated intelligent manufacturing systems, ensuring seamless integration of automation, information and intelligence. The workshop will feature advanced ERP and MES systems for refined management and full traceability of incoming materials, ensuring reliable product quality.
SEG anticipates establishing its global R&D center at the Houston PV manufacturing base before the end of 2024. The center will offer comprehensive testing services, including LID tests, Damp Heat tests, PID tests, and Light and LeTID tests.
Jim Wood, CEO of SEG, said: “SEG will continue to deepen its investments in wafers, cells, and modules, closely tracking market trends to meet our customers’ needs.”
By the end of 2023, SEG has shipped over 5 GW of solar modules worldwide. The company is expected to exceed a production capacity of 5.5 GW by the end of 2024.
