A solar company is building a 500,000-square-foot solar module manufacturing facility in Houston.<\/p>\n

SEG Solar, which has its headquarters and manufacturing base in Houston, will develop a 4-gigawatt facility with an investment of over $200 million that will create 800 new jobs.<\/p>\n

Commercial operations at the facility are expected to begin in the third quarter.<\/p>\n
