China’s leading solar association called on the government to provide support to the industry as measures to contain the outbreak of a virus are hampering the restart of manufacturing activity.
The China Photovoltaic Industry Association is asking policy makers to delay tariff cuts for solar power, deputy secretary Liu Yiyang said Monday. The group is also seeking subsidies or interest-free loans for manufacturers to help ease their cash flow pressure, he said.
