Made in USA Solar Panel Maker Auxin is Risking It All to Take a Stand Against China. Here’s Why.

The Manufacturing Report

The Commerce Department is investigating whether Chinese companies are routing solar panels through other countries to avoid U.S. duties.

Much of their ire has been directed at Auxin Solar Inc., the California solar panel maker that filed the original petition. Auxin CEO Mamun Rashid joins The Manufacturing Report to explain why he's seeing this fight through — and why policymakers need to support American manufacturers like this company.
