HOUSTON, Aug. 9. 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- On August 8, 2024, SEG Solar (SEG), a leading
U.S. photovoltaic manufacturer, held a grand opening ceremony for
its new PV manufacturing base in Houston,
Texas, marking a new chapter in SEG's commitment to U.S.
domestic manufacturing. During the ceremony, the first 585W
YUKON N series module rolled off
the production line, establishing SEG as one of the first
manufacturers to achieve module production in the United States.
The ceremony was attended by nearly 300 guests from government,
associations, partners, and major media, including Houston
Northwest Chamber of Commerce President and CEO Bobby Lieb, Chase A.
Silman from the Office of Congressman Morgan Luttrell, Lawrence Bell from the Office of Commissioner

With a total investment of approximately $60 million and covering nearly 250,000 square
feet, the production facility is now fully operational and
specializes in producing the latest high-efficiency N-type solar
modules, with an annual capacity of 2GW.
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. This technological collaboration not
only guarantees high precision in the production process but also
significantly enhances manufacturing efficiency. Additionally, 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. These tests
will ensure the reliability and performance of the modules under
various environmental conditions, providing customers with higher
quality and more competitive products.
"As a leading U.S. solar company, SEG is proud to be among
the first to respond to the call for domestic manufacturing
by constructing a solar module factory in the U.S. The
completion of the Houston plant
marks a significant milestone for SEG and a major advancement in
U.S. module manufacturing technology," said Jim Wood, CEO of SEG in his keynote speech.
"Looking ahead, SEG will continue to deepen its investments in
