U.S. solar panel maker SEG Solar on June 1 announced plans for a third major factory in Texas to serve demand for American-made clean energy equipment.
The Houston-area facility will support SEG's transition to high-efficiency heterojunction (HJT) solar technology.
The factory will bring SEG's U.S. module production to 10.6 gigawatts.
The third factory is expected to begin production in May 2027. The company's second facility will open in August of this year.
SEG is evaluating U.S. locations for an HJT solar cell factory.
The facility's products are aimed to serve demand for solar panels that comply with federal laws barring Chinese companies from claiming clean energy subsidies.
Houston-based SEG is planning a solar wafer and ingot facility in Indonesia to serve its U.S. factories.
