SEG Solar Invited to Attend PV Tech Webinar, Fully Revealing Houston 2GW Photovoltaic Module Factory

On August 21, 2024, SEG Solar ("SEG"), a leading U.S. photovoltaic (PV) module manufacturer, participated in a PV Tech webinar, focusing on the evolving U.S. PV manufacturing landscape and the timing for potential expansions into cell and wafer production. The webinar also offered a comprehensive tour of SEG's 2 GW PV module factory located in Houston, Texas.

Finlay Colville, Head of Market Research at PV Tech, presented an overview of the global solar industry in 2024. He delved into capacity expansion plans and new PV production lines across the U.S. for the second half of 2024, underscoring the vital role of domestic manufacturers in advancing solar energy production in the country.

As a 100% U.S.-based leading PV module manufacturer, SEG's CEO, Jim Wood, gave a detailed presentation of the overall layout, automated equipment, and production processes of the company's 2 GW photovoltaic module factory in Houston, Texas, during the webinar. This manufacturing base features one of the world's longest automated production lines, covering the entire process from cell cutting and string soldering to sorting and packaging, contributing to both large scale and high efficiency.

Jim Wood said, "The global market is becoming increasingly diverse, with many countries and regions ramping up their investments. The Inflation Reduction Act provides additional incentives and support for U.S. manufacturing. As a domestic manufacturer, SEG will capitalize on this development opportunity, promote reshoring of manufacturing, and actively pursue more diversified supply chain solutions to enhance our global market position.”

Looking ahead, SEG will continue to deepen its investments in solar industry, closely tracking market trends to meet our customers' needs. Through strategic collaborations across the supply chain, SEG aims to continuously optimize and enhance the U.S. PV manufacturing industry.
