The US Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has launched a draft industry standard named 'Standard 101' to comply with US Customs and Border Protection's (CBP) traceability requirements. SEIA seeks to ensure ethical practices in the industry and limit imports associated with forced labor. The standard focuses on encouraging awareness of high-risk suppliers, tracking material delivery, and building out domestic manufacturing. It also addresses challenges in the solar industry, particularly related to China's history of non-compliant imports and the ongoing debate over US solar manufacturing versus reliance on Chinese imports.
