Navigating the UFLPA: Geopolitical Risk in the PV Supply Chain
We will discuss how The Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (UFLPA) law, which recently has gone into effect, will be implemented and dive into the larger market implications. We will also provide insight and perspective into how UFLPA and pending legislation in Europe will affect global supply chains and cover techniques that module buyers can institute to help avoid product detainment, seizures, and rejections under UFLPA.
