The study concluded that solar industry is particularly vulnerable to forced labour in the Uyghur Region because 95% of solar modules rely on one primary material – solar-grade polysilicon, and because polysilicon manufacturers in the Uyghur Region account for approximately 45% of the world''s solar-grade polysilicon supply. The authors of
China''s government adamantly denies the existence of forced labor in Xinjiang and elsewhere in the country. In contrast, the SHU report describes how persistently government and private labor agencies are urging indigenous Uyghur and Kazakh citizens from Xinjiang into so-called "surplus labor", "labor transfer" and "poverty

China''s leadership in the solar panel manufacturing industry is indisputable, accounting for approximately 60% of the global photovoltaic (PV) panel output. The country''s dominance is driven by a combination of advanced technology, economies of scale, and significant investments in renewable energy infrastructure. Chinese manufacturers not only

The allegations of forced labour in the supply chains of these solar companies have led to significant consequences. The U.S. government has taken action to block more than 1,000 shipments of solar energy components from China''s Xinjiang region over concerns about slave labour. Despite these concerns and efforts, the solar industry continues to

Labor from Solar Supply Chains Forced labor contaminates solar supply chains. This report examines the scale of the crisis and what companies can do to fix it. SPECIAL REPORT
Solar energy specifically raises concerns about the risk of forced labor entering into its supply chain. Every stage of the solar supply chain sees a substantially large contribution coming from China, most of it from the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR). XUAR is home to the Uyghurs, a Muslim ethnic minority numbering more than 10 million.
In other words, the reason China had to make solar panels with coal, heavy subsidies, and forced labor was because cost reductions could not be realized by increasing efficiency. Solar cells are
Critics, such as Oregon Senator Ron Wyden, allege that China benefited from unfair trading practices and the use of forced labour in its supply chain — charges the nation rejects and that analysts say is unlikely to have

Initially, China prioritized wind power for renewable energy development due to its well-established technology. However, the Key Points of New Energy and Renewable Energy Industry Development Planning 2000–2015, published in 2000, marked the beginning of China''s interest in solar photovoltaic technology [27]. In the early stages, critical
Many studies have conducted assessments highlighting the enormous potential of China''s solar resources [8, 9, 15, 17] and regional heterogeneity [15, 17, 22, 23], but the results varied widely (Table 1).The assessments of China''s PV power generation potential across different studies varied by up to sixty-fold or more, which can be slightly attributed to the

The use of forced labour in the solar panel industry, particularly among the Uyghur population in China, has been a growing concern. Reports have linked several solar companies with factories in Xinjiang to forced labour practices, particularly for workers from the Uighur minority.

The use of forced labour in the solar panel industry, particularly among the Uyghur population in China, has been a growing concern. Reports have linked several solar companies with factories in Xinjiang to forced labour practices, particularly for workers from the Uighur minority.
They have also signed a call to action by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) to ensure the solar supply chain is free of forced labour. The United Kingdom has taken a strong stance against forced labour in on-grid, photovoltaic solar energy production.
This article examines the link between solar panel production and slave labour practices in Xinjiang, what countries are doing about it and the impact on accused solar brands. Recently, concerns have been raised about the forced labour practices in Xinjiang, China, and their connection to the solar energy industry.
Reports have emerged linking solar companies with factories in Xinjiang to programs accused of forced labour practices. This raises important questions about the ethical implications of the solar industry's dependence on labour from this region.
China's dominance of the global solar market may expose the solar supply chain to a greater risk of disruptions from geopolitical disputes, extreme weather, and shifts in the economy, Seaver Wang, a researcher involved in the study, told Insider.
Until this week, the Chinese government had hotly denied that it was using slave labor in its solar panel factories, just as it has denied that it is engaging in genocide, despite overwhelming evidence that it has put two million Muslim Uyghurs in concentration camps where they are subjected to forced labor and sterilization.
