SEG Solar Awarded 2026 Top Performer by Kiwa PVEL for 5th Consecutive Year

Recently, SEG Solar ("SEG"), a leading U.S. solar module manufacturer, has been named a "Top Performer" in Kiwa PVEL’s 2026 PV Module Reliability Scorecard. This marks the fifth consecutive year SEG has earned the distinction, highlighting its sustained quality and competitive position in the global PV supply chain.

As an industry benchmark, the Kiwa PVEL Scorecard uses rigorous Product Qualification Program (PQP) testing to simulate extreme conditions. For five years running, SEG has ranked among global leaders, meeting stringent standards for mechanical load, thermal cycling, and potential-induced degradation (PID). These results validate SEG's ability to deliver high-efficiency modules that minimize degradation and ensure stable project returns.

SEG's quality is driven by its integrated R&D system and commitment to innovation. The company is establishing global R&D labs covering the entire value chain—from silicon wafers to components—equipped with advanced analytical instruments. By focusing on the mass production of next-generation technologies, SEG ensures each iteration improves both efficiency and stability. This "R&D-and-production integration" positions SEG to lead the industry's shift from a singular focus on efficiency to a model that prioritizes high reliability alongside high performance.

"Congratulations to SEG Solar on being named a Top Performer module manufacturer for five consecutive years," said Tristan Erion-Lorico, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at Kiwa PVEL. "Recognition in the Scorecard validates the robustness of SEG Solar's modules under rigorous PQP protocols, underscoring their commitment to quality, reliability, and performance."

Shehroz Razzaq, Senior PV Expert and Head of the SEG Global PV R&D Center, emphasized the company's strategy: "SEG will continue to invest in cutting-edge industry technologies. While achieving breakthroughs in efficiency, we will also rely on material and process innovations to ensure the utmost reliability of our products, providing global customers with high-quality energy transition solutions."
