Qcells President of Corporate Affairs Statement on Biden Administration’s New Actions to Support Domestic Solar Manufacturers

Today, the Biden Administration announced additional plans to support domestic solar producers just days after increasing tariffs on solar modules and cells imported from China. The Administration’s actions today include removing the bifacial exclusion, further defining the domestic content bonus included in the Inflation Reduction Act and committing to crack down on dumping and stockpiling of solar products.

In response to today’s announcement, Qcells’ President of Corporate Affairs, Danny O’Brien issued the following statement:

“Today’s announcement is yet another signal that President Biden is serious about ensuring the long-term success of solar manufacturing in the United States.  The IRA is a transformative investment in America’s emerging solar manufacturing sector and it is clear the Administration knows it must protect that investment through strong trade and industrial policies. The recent measures taken by the Biden Administration are critical to creating tens of thousands of jobs in America, stabilizing the climate, and protecting our energy security. Qcells looks forward to continuing to work with the Administration on solutions that will advance the solar manufacturing supply chain in America for decades to come.”
