SunLink CEO Comment on President Donald Trump Announcement on Solar Tariffs

MILL VALLEY, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#SaveSolarJobs–Michael Maulick, president and CEO of SunLink
Corporation, issued the following statement after President Donald
Trump announced his decision to impose a 30 percent tariff on imported
solar cells and modules as result of the Section 201 trade case:

“We are very disappointed by President Donald Trump’s failure today to
protect American workers and our country’s growing solar economy. His
decision today to impose a 30 percent tariff on imported solar cells and
modules will cause harm to the solar industry, impacting thousands of
American jobs and stifling clean energy innovation. Artificial price
hikes through tariffs only work to impede economic progress when the
solar industry has worked for years to make solar affordable through
innovation, a global supply chain, production scale growth and private
investments.

While we have always been module agnostic and supported modules of all
types, we also believe the power of choice ultimately provides the most
flexibility for customers to make utility-scale and commercial solar
more pervasive. We remain committed to working closely with the energy
industry and our manufacturing peers towards a solution that supports
domestic manufacturing and domestic innovation with a global mindset to
keep America solar strong.”
