SEG Solar Inc. signed an agreement with Suzhou Horad New Energy Equipment Co., Ltd., for state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment that will be used to produce 2 GW of tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar modules in Texas.
In March SEG Solar announced that it had acquired a factory building in Houston, Texas, where it plans to produce 2 GW of solar modules. The company said the facility will produce solar modules based on n-type TOPCon cell technology. A recently announced TOPCon module from SEG Solar is the Yukon, a 144-cell module that features M10 (182 mm) N-type TOPCon cells and are designed for ultra-large power stations, the company reported.
SEG Solar plans to supply its U.S.-made TOPCon modules to the utility, commercial and residential markets.
