Solar panels are manufactured on the assembly line at the First Solar manufacturing plant, Wednesday, Oct. 6, 2021, in Walbridge, Ohio. First Solar is a leading global provider of comprehensive PV solar systems using advanced module and system technology. WASHINGTON, D. C. - A bipartisan Senate coalition led by Ohio’s Sherrod Brown is backing legislation that aims to keep Chinese solar and clean energy companies from claiming federal subsidies for their U.S. manufacturing facilities.
Mike Carr, executive director of the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition, said the bill would ensure Chinese-owned or headquartered solar companies do not have access to U.S. incentives while they receive massive market-distorting subsidies in China, including on many of the components they are building into end products in the United States.
“It is imperative that the US solar manufacturing industry, which should not be confused with companies simply assembling modules in the US with high-value-add imported components, is granted a level playing field allowing it to compete on its own merits,” said a statement from First Solar CEO Mark Widmar.
