PR97944
SAN ANTONIO, Sept. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --
SEG Solar (SEG) on Tuesday announced plans to establish a PV module
manufacturing plant in Houston, Texas, the United States, with an anticipated
annual capacity of more than 2 gigawatts (GW).
The facility is expected to commence construction at the end of 2022 and be
fully operational by mid-2023.
The plant will be equipped with three state-of-the-art production lines capable
of producing high efficiency N type Topcon solar modules with 182mm or 210mm
solar cells.
The development of this facility is the next step in SEG's long-term product
localization strategy designed to better serve customers in the United States.
SEG is very excited to enter the U.S. manufacturing market at this time, said
Jim Wood, CEO of SEG, adding that the establishment of this facility now makes
sense on a number of different levels due to the recent incentives for solar
manufacturing included in the Inflation Reduction Act and the current
legislative climate.
He said that this plant will give SEG more control over the supply chain and
simplify transportation logistics, thereby providing customers with competitive
pricing and even more assurance of on-time deliveries.
SEG is committed to sourcing components and other materials for the production
of the modules at this facility from local suppliers in the United States.
As a result, SEG anticipates that the modules manufactured at this facility
will qualify for local content incentives and avoid or significantly reduce
many of the tariffs and other restrictions facing manufacturers outside of the
United States.
The modules produced at this facility will be "Assembled in the U.S." and may
also be eligible for certain other certifications.
The plant is expected to create as many as 500 new jobs in the local Houston
area.
Founded in 2016, SEG is based in Texas and has supplied modules for over 1.2 GW
of PV projects in the U.S. market.
Selected as a Tier 1 PV module manufacturer by Bloomberg, SEG provides
high-performance and reliable PV modules for the utility, commercial and
residential markets. By the end of 2023, SEG expects to ship more than 2GW of
PV modules annually.
