“Thanks to the confidence our finance partners and our customers have in our products, we’ve seen our order intake grow—we’re shipping our modules as fast as we can make them and are actively hiring production staff,” said Steve Ostrenga, vice president of sales for Seraphim Solar USA. “With uncertainty clouding some parts of the U.S. solar manufacturing community, developers and installers who want top-quality, U.S.-made products are looking to us as a reliable and bankable supplier.”  

Seraphim Solar USA also noted that it would be introducing new modules that include a black-on-black module for residential and small commercial customers and four-busbar, PERC (Passivated Emitter Rear Cell) modules providing higher conversion efficiencies.
