SEG Solar Ships First N-Type Modules from Houston Factory, Ushering in a New Era of Domestic Manufacturing

HOUSTON, November 22, 2024 – SEG Solar (”SEG”), a U.S. leading manufacturer of photovoltaic modules, announced today that its manufacturing facility in Houston has successfully shipped its first batch of solar modules. This significant milestone marks the beginning of SEG's domestic solar energy production in North America and underscores the company's unwavering commitment to cultivating the local solar industry.

The initial shipment consists of SEG's YUKON N series, 72-cell, 595W bifacial glass-glass modules. These high-performance modules will be deployed in commercial and utility-scale projects across the United States, including New York, Vermont, North Carolina, and Oregon, contributing to the clean energy landscape of these regions. Leveraging 182mm cells, the modules boast an impressive power output of 595W, efficiency of 22.65%, minimal temperature coefficient of -0.29%/℃, and a bifaciality of 85%. With a first-year degradation as low as 1% and a 30-year power performance warranty, these modules offer superior reliability and durability. Compared to traditional PERC modules, the YUKON N series significantly reduces both the balance of system (BOS) cost and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), making them a highly attractive option for the US market.

“The successful shipment of our first N-type modules from the Houston factory signifies SEG's entry into full-scale production,” said Jim Wood, CEO of SEG. “Domestic manufacturing ensures that our products meet the highest standards and requirements of the US market, enabling us to respond promptly to customer needs and provide more efficient after-sales service. The positive feedback and strong partnership with our customers validate the quality and performance of our products. Moving forward, SEG will remain committed to technological innovation and product optimization, pledging to provide our customers with more reliable solar solutions to achieve long-term sustainable energy goals.”

SEG's Houston factory currently operates two production lines for 182mm and 210mm N-type modules, with an annual capacity of 2GW. The factory has already secured orders that extend into 2025, and all production lines are operating at full capacity. Looking ahead, SEG will continue to invest heavily in the North American market, accelerate localized production, and increase R&D investment to provide a wider range of solutions for diverse applications.
