SEG Solar has announced the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement with China’s UKT New Energy Technology, a company specialising in the design of junction boxes, for the construction of a junction box factory in Houston, Texas. The factory will ultimately guarantee the supply of module materials for SEG’s own Houston manufacturing facility.
“UKT New Energy’s junction box solution, with its exceptional technical advantages, will bring new levels of safety, reliability and performance to our PV modules,” commented SEG founder and COO Jun Zhuge. “From silicon wafers to junction boxes, SEG is advancing towards a strategic manufacturing presence in the US, with the objective of reducing production costs and reliance on imported critical materials, while enhancing the quality control and delivery speed of modules through optimized supply chain management.”
Xiaojun Tai, founder and chairman of UKT New Energy, added: “UKT New Energy approaches industry cooperation with an open mindset, based on a robust global development strategy, and actively seeks mutually beneficial partnerships. We firmly believe that, with our advanced technological expertise and extensive industrial experience, we can provide reliable support and significant guarantees for the development of SEG’s module brand in the United States.”
