Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether Or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People's Republic of China
ACCESS C-570-980 Administrative Review POR: 01/01/2017-12/31/2017 Public Document E&C/OVII: GHC January 31, 2020 MEMORANDUM TO: Jeffrey I. Kessler Assistant Secretary for Enforcement and Compliance FROM: James Maeder Deputy Assistant Secretary for Antidumping and Countervailing Duty Operations SUBJECT: Decision Memorandum for the Preliminary Results of the Administrative Review of the Countervailing Duty Order on Crystalline Silicon Photovoltaic Cells, Whether or Not Assembled Into Modules, from the People’s Republic of China; 2017 ______________________________________________________________________________ I. SUMMARY The Department of Commerce is conducting an administrative review of the countervailing duty (CVD) order on crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells) from the People’s Republic of China (China), covering the period of review (POR) January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017. The mandatory respondents are JA Solar Technology Yangzhou Co., Ltd. (JA Solar) and Risen Energy Co., Ltd. (Risen Energy). This is the sixth administrative review of the CVD order on solar cells from China. We preliminarily find that JA Solar and Risen Energy received countervailable subsidies during the POR. If these preliminary results are adopted in the final results of this review, we will instruct U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to assess countervailing duties on all appropriate entries of subject merchandise during the POR. Interested parties are invited to comment on these preliminary results. Unless the deadline is extended pursuant to section 751(a)(3)(A) of the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the Act), we will issue the final results of this review by no later than 120 days after the publication of these preliminary results in the Federal Register. -

Reclaiming the US Solar Supply Chain from China by Jeff Ferry, Chief Economist – Coalition for a Prosperous America
Coalition for a Prosperous America Reclaiming the US Solar Supply Chain from China By Jeff Ferry, Chief Economist – Coalition for a Prosperous America Key Points • Several US solar module manufacturers have ramped up production substantially in the last three years under the stimulus of the Section 201 safeguard tariffs on solar module imports, leading US producers to achieve a 10-year high in market share of 19.8% in 2019, a noteworthy achievement. • The Section 201 solar tariffs have had no negative impact on the US market for solar energy installations, which grew 43% in 2020. Solar installations are set to be more than 50% greater than they were expected to be prior to the implementation of the 201 tariffs in 2017. • However, Chinese manufacturers continue to hold a dominant, near-monopoly, position in several important sectors of the upstream solar supply chain, endangering the health and future of the US solar industry. China continues to raise the stakes with large subsidies supporting billions of dollars of Chinese solar industry expansion. Beijing’s goal is global dominance of this industry. • Chinese dominance threatens US energy independence and US technology leadership in solar and other clean energy technologies. It also threatens our semiconductor industry, which relies on polysilicon as a raw material. • The US government should implement policies designed to secure the long-term future of an end-to-end US solar supply chain, using a mixture of incentives, tax credits, government procurement policies, and tariffs. These policies should be explicitly long-term. They should not be conditional on any foreign nation’s behavior. -

Ownership and Innovation in Chinese Solar Photovoltaic Firms: An Analysis of the Effects of State, Private, and Foreign Shareholding on Patenting Performance Radomir Tylecote Thesis submitted for the award of Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) The copyright of this thesis rests with the author and is made available under a Creative Commons Attribution Non-Commercial No Derivatives licence. Researchers are free to copy, distribute or transmit the thesis on the condition that they attribute it, that they do not use it for commercial purposes and that they do not alter, transform or build upon it. For any reuse or redistribution, researchers must make clear to others the licence terms of this work. 1 Abstract This thesis is a quantitative study of the effect of ownership – by state, private and foreign shareholdings – on innovation by China’s solar photovoltaic (PV) firms. Using the country’s solar PV industry, I seek to explain the impact of proportions of these different types of shareholding (and within the state category shareholding by central, provincial, and municipal governments) on innovative capacity. This capacity is measured by firms’ rates and qualities of patenting. As Chinese economic growth falters, amid the “re-shoring” of certain manufacturing capabilities, the role of the state, and whether it is helping or hindering its economy’s – and Chinese firms’ – technological upgrading, is a vital question. This is particularly true in high-tech sectors, including solar PV, which the Chinese government deems essential for the country’s continuing economic growth. Through the solar PV industry, we investigate the role of the state, and how it is helping or hindering Chinese companies’ innovation. -
