A-SMACC

Big names

Relax
Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), was relieved by the decision by the U.S. Department of Commerce: “This is a huge success for the 231,000 workers in the U.S. solar industry. This petition (ed. A-SMACC) has already had a cool effect on the supply chain of the industry, and if fined, we would have seen large-scale project cancellations and job losses within a few days. Today’s decision gives companies a huge guarantee to move their investments, hire more employees and use more clean energy.
