China Seeks EU Solar-Panel Export Cap to Avoid Duties, SSN Says

China is proposing to limit exports of solar panels to the European Union to 10 gigawatts a year to avoid antidumping tariffs, the Shanghai Securities News said.

China is asking the EU to reduce or remove duties on panels within the limit and pledged to keep prices at or above 50 euro cents ($64 U.S. cents) a watt, the newspaper said, citing Wang Sicheng, a researcher at the Energy Research Institute, an adviser to the government.
