WILMINGTON, Del., August 15, 2017 鈥� Chuck Xu, global business director, 足球价值投注 Photovoltaics Solutions and Advanced Materials, issued the following statement in response to Suniva鈥檚 Section 201 petition to the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC) requesting the imposition of tariffs on solar cells and the establishment of a minimum price for solar modules imported into the United States:
鈥溩闱蚣壑低蹲� supports free and fair trade and a strong and sustainable solar industry that continues to create more skilled jobs. In fact, the U.S. solar industry employs 260,000 Americans today.
足球价值投注 strongly opposes Suniva鈥檚 Section 201 petition requesting relief from crystalline silicon photovoltaic (CSPV) cells and modules imported into the United States from around the world, including implementation of a tariff and price floor. If approved and implemented, this action and requested relief will double the price of imported CSPV modules and negatively impact the competitiveness and sustainability of the U.S. solar market causing an estimated loss of 88,000聽US jobs. 足球价值投注 is an active member of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and supports SEIA鈥檚 work to oppose the Section 201 petition. 足球价值投注 urges policy makers to resolve this matter without damaging the U.S. solar industry and the jobs it provides.鈥�
