Global supply chains for solar panels have been moving away from China due to ongoing concerns over forced labor and human rights violations in the Xinjiang region. A new report highlights that many of the products sourced globally still rely on China.
Nearly every solar power panel sold in the European Union has its origins in China''s oppressed Xinjiang region.. The solar industry and Brussels lawmakers argue Europe''s renewable energy push should not come at a human cost amid long-standing international concern over reports China has detained 1 million people with Muslim backgrounds in camps
The solar industry''s growing dependence on China''s autonomous Xinjiang region for a critical raw material poses mounting risks to a wide range of companies as the U.S. government moves to
The United States on Wednesday restricted exports to five Chinese companies that it said were implicated in Chinese human rights violations, including large producers of polysilicon for the...
New report, "Sins of a Solar Empire," calls for solar industry to address unethical solar photovoltaic manufacturing in Xinjiang. Over the past decade, much of the global silicon-based solar photovoltaic industry has slipped
These customers paid for solar panels that were never properly installed, leaving them with non-functional systems and ongoing loan payments. The lawsuit filed by the division seeks damages for violations of the Utah Consumer Sales Practice Act and highlights the deceptive practices of Elan Solar. Deceptive Business Practices Uncovered
LONGi, the U.S.''s top solar-panel supplier, is exposed to possible human rights violations through its supply chain. LONGi and its subsidiaries sent at least 21% of the shipping containers that carried solar panels to U.S. ports during the second quarter of 2021, according to research firm Panjiva.
The Biden administration on Wednesday ordered a ban on U.S. imports of a key solar panel material from Chinese-based Hoshine Silicon Industry Co (603260.SS) over forced labor allegations, two
The U.S. Department of Commerce has ruled that business units of BYD, Longi Green Energy, Canadian Solar, Trina Solar and New East Solar are in violation of anti-dumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) laws.

The solar industry''s growing dependence on China''s autonomous Xinjiang region for a critical raw material poses mounting risks to a wide range of companies as the U.S. government moves to confront Beijing over alleged human rights abuses there.
First Solar Inc is investigating several crystalline-silicon solar manufacturers for potential infringement of its patents related to the manufacturing of Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TOPCon) crystalline-silicon PV solar cells. The US thin-film photovoltaics maker acquired the patents through its acquisition of TetraSun Inc in 2013, with patents issued in

The solar industry, which prides itself on clean and responsible growth, has faced scrutiny for its involvement with companies that utilise forced labour. Major solar companies have been tied, raising concerns about the human rights violations associated with producing solar panels.
The U.S. government has taken steps to crack down on forced labour in the supply chain for solar panels in Xinjiang, including a ban on imports from a silicon producer there. In contrast,e Canada has banned the import of solar panels from specific Chinese companies due to concerns over human rights violations.
Since then, U.S. customs officials have detained $1.64 billion of imported products, including an unspecified volume of solar panels, to check them for compliance. Solar companies say the detentions have caused widespread installation delays in the United States, putting the country’s energy transition at risk.
The International Energy Agency’s recent report on the solar PV supply chain cautioned that, at some steps of manufacturing, the solar PV sector relies on production that has consolidated within not just a single country, but within a small handful of large plants—a level of vulnerability that would raise concerns within any industry.
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.
