TMEIC to build PV inverter manufacturing facility in Texas
TMEIC Corporation Americas has announced plans to establish a new utility-scale PV inverter manufacturing facility in Brookshire, Texas. The company, which is a subsidiary of TMEIC Corporation and specializes in PV inverters and energy storage systems, will locate the new 144,000-square-foot facility near TMEIC’s existing uninterruptible power supply and medium voltage drive manufacturing plant in Katy, Texas. Once operation officially begins later this year, the plant will produce 9 GW annually, with future expansion availability based on market demands.
