About the Episode:
Domestic manufacturing is making a COMEBACK!
There, I finally admit it. I never thought it’d happen, to be honest, as you’ll here in today’s episode.
On August 8th, we were invited to Houston, Texas for the grand opening of SEG Solar's new solar module factory. In the heart of oil & gas country, this state-of-the-art facility raises the bar for domestic solar manufacturing. With fully automated production lines producing two gigawatts of panels annually—and plans to expand to five gigawatts by 2030, SEG Solar is leading the charge in bringing manufacturing back to U.S. soil.
If you’ve not been inside a real solar manufacturing facility, neither had we - we take you INSIDE for this unique first-hand look.

NOTEWORTHY QUOTEs:
“Today, we’re not just opening a factory here in Texas. We’re standing on the foundation of the next generation of our solar industry. We call it the solar revolution.”
“This factory represents, truly, the heart and soul of our nation’s clean energy dream, a revolution that began right here on American soil, more than 70 years ago.”
