The expansion of SEG Solar's manufacturing capacity in the United States, particularly with advanced HJT technology, is expected to positively impact the solar energy market by increasing domestic supply and reducing reliance on foreign components. This move by SEG Solar could lead to increased competition and innovation within the U.S. solar industry, potentially driving down costs and accelerating the energy transition.

SEG Solar, a leading U.S. solar module manufacturer, announced plans to develop its third U.S. manufacturing facility in Greater United States — Houston, Texas. This new 4.6-gigawatt (GW) facility will increase SEG Solar's annual U.S. module manufacturing capacity to 10.6 GW, making it one of the largest domestic solar module manufacturers. The facility, expected to be completed by March 2027, will support the transition to next-generation HJT technology and FEOC-compliant module production. Additionally, SEG Solar is planning an ingot and wafer facility in Indonesia to strengthen its global supply chain and is evaluating U.S. sites for an HJT cell manufacturing facility, further advancing its localization strategy and supporting the United States' energy transition.
