Despite this large domestic demand for solar, U.S. manufacturers have experienced competitive challenges, and the United States has thus become more reliant on imports including for PV components such as solar cells. The Department seeks individual input and views at the June 29, 2021 roundtable regarding the U.S. solar PV panel (module) value chain, including the following topics: • The current state of upstream manufacturing for solar PV in the United States, including solar cells, silicon wafers, polysilicon, and other key materials and components of PV modules; • The potential contribution of U.S. solar panel manufacturing towards the Biden Administration’s overarching clean energy goals as set out in the Executive Order ‘‘Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and Abroad;’’ • Best practices and policy proposals to incentivize further investment in a responsible solar panel manufacturing supply chain in the United States; and • How to ensure that future federal procurement of solar energy will maximize the deployment of solar panels made in the United States. The event is closed to press and public. Industry participation is limited to 25 qualifying industry representatives. Officials from the Department of Energy, Department of State, and other relevant agencies will also be invited to participate in the discussion. Selection To attend, participants should submit the below information to Cora.Dickson@ trade.gov by no later than June 22, 2021. ITA will evaluate registrations based on the submitted information (and based on the criteria below) on a rolling basis until 25 participants have been selected and inform applicants of selection decisions. Applicants are encouraged to send representatives at a sufficiently senior level to be knowledgeable about their company’s capabilities, interests and challenges in the U.S. solar PV value chain. Due to time constraints, there is a limit of one person to speak on behalf of each company. However, each selected participant may invite one additional person from their company as an observer. Registrations should include the following information in their registration email: • Name of attendee and short bio. VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:02 Jun 14, 2021 Jkt 253001 • Name of company and brief company description. • A statement self-certifying how the company meets each of the following criteria: 1. It is not majority owned by a foreign government entity (or entities). 2. It is an existing manufacturer or prospective new market entrant, with products that are or will be produced in the United States in one or more of the following segments: Solar-grade polysilicon, silicon ingots, silicon wafers, solar cells, and solar modules. 3. The representative will be able to attend the entire roundtable. Selection will be based on the following criteria: • Suitability of the company’s existing products in the solar PV value chain. • Suitability of the company’s experience in manufacturing in the United States. • Suitability of the representative’s position and biography to be able to engage in the conversation. • Ability of the company to contribute to the roundtable’s purpose of seeking individual input and views on the United States solar PV value chain, including whether the company may have conflicting interests or that its selection could hinder the effectiveness of the roundtable.
