SolarWorld applauds trade remedy recommendations for U.S. solar

SolarWorld Americas has applauded the work of U.S. International Trade Commission for issuing trade remedy recommendations for the U.S. solar cell and panel manufacturing industry.

In a statement, Juergen Stein, CEO and president, SolarWorld, said, “We are pleased that a bipartisan majority of the Commission has recommended tariffs, tariff-rate quotas and funding for the domestic industry. This is a useful first step. The process will now move forward to the President, and we continue to believe that the remedies SolarWorld has recommended are the right ones for this industry at this time.”

Stein added, “We must ensure countries cannot undermine the remedies by underpricing their products in the U.S. market. As the White House has stated, ‘The U.S. solar manufacturing sector contributes to our energy security and economic prosperity.’ We look forward to President Trump establishing remedies that will place this industry back on a path of robust growth and put manufacturing workers back to work in an industry that will be a key to our nation’s future.”
