The Commerce Department’s decision to consider more solar tariffs is having a devastating impact on America’s clean energy economy. We need the entire solar community to engage on social media to demonstrate the damage this case is having on the solar industry. These social media posts are meant to promote SEIA’s Phone2Action tool to contact federal lawmakers, highlight the preliminary findings of SEIA’s survey, and encourage companies to complete the survey and share how they are being impacted. The official campaign hashtag is #SolarShutdown. Please make sure this hashtag is in ALL of your posts to be part of the conversation.

- "It puts me in a state of panic." The livelihoods of thousands of American workers are being entirely upended by the Biden Administration's #SolarShutdown. This tariff case has stopped nearly all solar panel supply in the U.S., and it must be ended to revive any hope of reaching the President’s climate goals.

- America’s solar industry is effectively shutting down after a new tariff investigation was started by the Biden Administration last week. More than 80% of companies in a new SEIA survey say their solar panel supply has already been canceled or delayed, and nearly 30,000 MW of solar projects are at risk of being delayed or cancelled altogether. President Biden and the Commerce Department must end this case before their clean energy goals are put entirely out of reach. https://bit.ly/3k4qi3q #SolarShutdown #solar #tariffs #cleanenergy #trade #manufacturing #climate #modules #cells #workforce #industry
