SEG ALPINE N Series PV modules that received certification feature N-type cells, 210mm x 210mm silicon wafers, SMBB technology, and nondestructive cutting technology. These modules achieve a power output of up to 715W and a module efficiency of 23%, showcasing a full range of core advantages including high efficiency, high-power, high-energy yield, high reliability, high bifaciality, low temperature coefficient, low BoS, and LCOE. This pushes the photovoltaic industry towards higher value from low cost and leads the sector into the era of ultra-high power above 700W. Intertek conducted comprehensive testing and evaluation on these products, covering electrical, optical, mechanical stress, weather fastness, and safety aspects, ensuring compliance with the latest standard requirements for the North American market. This highlights SEG's leading position and competitiveness in PV technology research and development.
According to a report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), supported by the IRA Act, the US photovoltaic industry has seen significant growth. It is expected that new installations will reach 40GW in 2024, and solar capacity will double within the next five years, reaching 438GW by 2029. This reflects the ongoing emphasis and investment in renewable energy, particularly solar, in the United States. The increase in the North American market will create new opportunities for local photovoltaic enterprises and increase demand for high-quality, high-performance solar modules. SEG's successful acquisition of ETL certification underscores the high reliability of its products and showcases the company's leadership in technological research and manufacturing processes.
Jun Zhuge, Founder and COO of SEG, stated, "Currently, SEG's module products have obtained authoritative certifications from Kiwa PVEL, DEKRA, TUV, ETL, CE, and others.
