More than 85% aren’tt solar PV manufacturers– they’re actively providing a full range of solar PV products and services, from solar PV sales and installation and systems integration to product distribution, finance and legal services.
As many as 60,000 American solar industry jobs would be lost over the next three years should a 100% tariff be imposed on Chinese silicon PV imports, according to the results of a Brattle Group study commissioned by CASE, the Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy.
Last week, I posted letters from Jigar Shah (President of Coalition for Affordable Solar Energy) and a response from Hari Chandra Polavarapu (Managing Director of Solar/Cleantech Research at AURIGA USA LLC). As an update, here’s a response to Hari from Jigar: I want to thank Hari Chandra Polavarapu, the Managing Director of Solar/Cleantech … [continued]
