China suggests limits on 12 solar tech exports
China has proposed imposing restrictions on the export of 12 technologies used in the manufacture of solar equipment, aiming to protect national security and increase oversight of sensitive technologies. The restrictions include technologies related to perovskite solar cells, tandem cells, and polycrystalline silicon production—high-efficiency, lower-cost techniques. The move seeks to maintain China's dominance in the renewable energy sector, amid reports of discussions with companies including Tesla. It suggests that these restrictions could impact American companies' plans to expand their production in the United States. Public consultations will continue until November 15 to update the lists before the restrictions are officially implemented.
