- SEG Solar announced plans to build a 4.6‑GW solar module manufacturing facility in Greater Houston, Texas, spanning about 1.15 million square feet.
- SEG will boost its total U.S. solar module capacity to 10.6 GW annually, placing it among the larger domestic manufacturers.
- Texas plant is slated to finish construction in March 2027 with commercial production beginning in May 2027, while the company’s second 4 GW U.S. factory will open on August 7 2026.
- HJT modules will be produced at the Texas facility, which is being designed for foreign entity of concern (FEOC)‑compliant manufacturing.
- Indonesia is slated for a new ingot and wafer manufacturing plant, and SEG is evaluating U.S. locations for a dedicated HJT solar cell factory to further localize its supply chain.
Why it matters: U.S. solar installers and developers gain a domestic source of high‑efficiency HJT modules, while foreign competitors lose market share; the plant’s 4.6 GW output adds to a 10.6 GW U.S. capacity by 2027, strengthening supply‑chain resilience.
