SEG Solar Inaugurates Second U.S. PV Module Manufacturing Facility

On August 7, 2026, SEG Solar (“SEG”), a leading U.S. solar module manufacturer, officially inaugurated its second U.S. PV module manufacturing facility (Tomball #1) in Greater Houston, Texas, expanding its total U.S. module manufacturing capacity to 6 GW annually. The opening marks another major milestone in SEG's journey toward becoming the largest crystalline solar module manufacturer in the United States and further reinforces the company's long-term commitment to strengthening domestic solar manufacturing.

The inauguration brought together approximately 800 attendees, including SEG employees and representatives from local government, industry associations, business partners, customers, and leading media organizations. Among the distinguished guests were Bobby Lieb, President & CEO of the Northwest Houston Chamber of Commerce; Bruce Hillegeist, President of the Greater Tomball Area Chamber of Commerce; Craig Rhodes, Senior Vice President of the Greater Houston Partnership; Ed Gonzalez, Sheriff of Harris County; and Juliet Stipeche, Executive Director of Texas Workforce Solutions Gulf Coast. 

SEG Founder & COO Jun Zhuge, CEO Jim Wood, and Vice President of Operations Timothy Johnson delivered keynote remarks, highlighting the significance of Tomball #1 and SEG's continued growth in the U.S. solar market. The keynote program also featured guest speakers Natasha Cherenkova, Senior Vice President of DEPCOM Power; Paul Wormser, Senior Vice President – Technology at Intertek; and Nico Johnson, CEO of SunCast Media, alongside other distinguished industry partners and guests, who congratulated SEG on its remarkable growth, recognized the company's contribution to advancing U.S. solar manufacturing, and welcomed its continued investment in the Tomball community.

Representing an investment of US$200 million and spanning more than 500,000 square feet, Tomball #1 is SEG's largest module manufacturing facility in the United States and one of the country's largest HJT module manufacturing facilities. With an annual production capacity of 4 GW, the facility features four advanced production lines dedicated to manufacturing SEG's latest-generation high-efficiency SIERRA N series HJT modules, supporting both 210 mm and 210R wafer formats. The facility incorporates specialized HJT manufacturing processes, including low-temperature soldering and precision butyl sealant application, further enhancing module reliability, long-term durability, and energy yield.

"Seeing another SEG manufacturing facility stand on American soil is a proud moment for all of us," said Jun Zhuge, Founder & COO of SEG. "The rapid growth of artificial intelligence and data centers is driving unprecedented demand for reliable electricity and accelerating the need for new energy infrastructure. Tomball #1 is an important step in expanding our manufacturing capacity to meet that demand, with commercial operations expected to begin in the third quarter of this year. Looking ahead, we are advancing our third U.S. HJT module manufacturing facility and planning a U.S. cell manufacturing facility to build a more integrated domestic supply chain, strengthen long-term delivery capabilities for our customers and establish SEG as the largest crystalline solar module manufacturer in the United States."
