SEG Solar has announced that its manufacturing facility in Houston has shipped its first batch of solar modules, the milestone marking the beginning of SEG’s solar energy production in North America and underscoring the company’s commitment to developing the domestic industry.
The initial shipment consists of SEG’s YUKON N series, 72-cell, 595W bifacial glass-glass modules, which will be deployed in commercial and utility-scale projects across the United States, including New York, Vermont, North Carolina and Oregon. Leveraging 182mm cells, the modules boast an impressive efficiency of 22.65%, a 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. Compared to traditional PERC modules, the YUKON N series significantly reduces both balance of system (BOS) costs and the levelized cost of energy (LCOE), making it a highly attractive option for the US market.
“The shipment of our first N-type modules from the Houston factory signifies SEG’s entry into full-scale production,” commented CEO Jim Wood. “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.
