Summary of Views of Interested Parties The Commission invited interested parties to file written submissions for its investigation on U.S. and global markets for renewable energy services. This appendix summarizes the views expressed to the Commission via written submissions and reflects only the principal points made by each party. The views summarized are those of the submitting parties and not the Commission. In preparing this summary, the Commission did not confirm the accuracy of, or otherwise correct, the information summarized. For the full text of all written submissions, see entries associated with investigation no. 332-534 at the Commission’s Electronic Docket Information System (https://edis.usitc.gov). Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI)1 In a written submission, the Semiconductor Equipment and Materials International (SEMI) stated that it is a global trade association representing the equipment makers and material suppliers in the microelectronics industries. SEMI said that it has 2,000 members globally, of which approximately 500 are involved in the production of solar photovoltaics (PV). SEMI stated that there are more than 5,000 companies in the U.S. solar value chain, with at least 39 active facilities manufacturing PV components (polysilicon, wafers, cells, modules, inverters) spread across 17 states. According to SEMI, while some solar manufacturing operations have closed due to obsolete equipment, uncompetitive technology, or other reasons, a strong supply chain does still exist in the United States. SEMI stated that U.S. companies are represented in every step of the value chain, including manufacturing equipment, materials, solar cells and modules, and balance of system components. SEMI said that the U.S. PV industry accounted for over 119,000 jobs in 2012, with only 24 percent of these jobs in manufacturing, since a majority of PV cells and modules are made overseas. According to SEMI, GTM Research found that the U.S. solar supply chain had a $2 billion trade surplus in 2010, but that this changed to a $1.5 billion deficit in 2011 and that, as a result, some U.S. material manufacturing plants and Research and Development centers are likely to move overseas. SEMI indicated that after years of continuous growth, the solar PV industry now finds itself in a sustained period of rapidly falling prices for PV cells and modules, mostly due to overcapacity of production, even as global installation numbers continue to grow. The global industry is worth billions of dollars and employs hundreds of thousands of people, according to SEMI, but competition is fierce, and this has resulted in trade friction. SEMI indicated that there are a number of trade complaints between the United States, China, the European Union, The Republic of Korea (Korea), India, and Canada, and that other trade and market barriers have arisen in areas related to investment, government procurement, local-content requirements, and conflicting standards and certification requirements. SEMI stated that there is a need to level the global playing field for PV products in order to support U.S. competitiveness, and that what is needed is a high- standard, comprehensive, and global accord to control for improprieties that have 1 SEMI, written submission to the USITC, C-3PDF Image | Renewable Energy and Related Services: Recent Developments
