Qcells, a subsidiary of Hanwha Solutions, has reduced pay and working hours for about 1,000 employees in Georgia. The decision followed US. Customs detaining imported components needed for solar panel production. The company has also laid off 300 contract workers at its Dalton and Cartersville plants. US authorities detained shipments under the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act, suspecting links to materials made with forced labor in China. Qcells said its supply chain is fully outside China and verified by independent audits. The company is working with customs officials and expects production to recover soon. Employees will keep full benefits during furloughs, while construction continues on its $2.3 billion Cartersville plant.
