- SEG Solar announced a 4‑GW solar module plant in Houston, Texas, adding ~500,000 sq ft of manufacturing space.
- SEG Solar will boost its U.S. solar module capacity to roughly 6 GW per year, with commercial output slated for Q3 2026.
- SEG Solar is investing more than $200 million and expects to create up to 800 jobs at the Houston facility.
- SEG Solar says the plant will support future technologies such as heterojunction (HJT) cells and has been validated as a non‑PFE for FEOC compliance.
- SEG Solar also plans a 5‑GW ingot and wafer plant in Indonesia, with construction to start in Q2 2026, aiming for a vertically integrated supply chain.
Why it matters: U.S. clean‑energy firms gain domestic supply and job growth, while foreign rivals face stricter FEOC scrutiny; the $200 M investment expands capacity to meet rising demand.
