U.S. solar developers, offtakers and shippers got a rough wake-up call this week when U.S. Customs and Border Protection detained a large shipment of material from a Tier 1 solar supplier.
Why it matters: The detention from a highly regarded Tier 1 supplier signals no one will escape scrutiny under the the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, which took effect last week.
It's sent shockwaves through a sector already roiled by supply chain disruptions, the Commerce Department's anti-dumping investigation, inflation, and labor shortages.
