HOUSTON : SEG Solar (SEG), a leading U.S. producer of photovoltaic (PV) modules for the utility, commercial and residential markets, ranked on the list of Tier 1 global solar manufacturers in the BloombergNEF(BNEF) market outlook for the third quarter.
SEG was thrilled that BNEF has recognized the company’s long and successful track record as a trusted and bankable partner for project financing in the solar space. SEG’s extensive experience assisting project developers and owners with both short and long term debt and equity financing structures enables it to provide efficient and creative solutions for complex transactions, said Jim Wood, CEO of SEG.
Customers have many choices for module supply in the current market and SEG believes that its flexible and result-oriented approach toward getting deals done separates the company from the rest of the competition. SEG understands its role in the overall development of the project and makes it a priority to cooperate with owners and financing parties to bring energy to the grid as smoothly as possible, Wood added.
