The article reports on the impact of cheap Chinese solar panel exports on the U.S. solar industry. Topics discussed include solar panel component maker CubicPV's cancellation of a plan to build a factory due to financial viability concern, top government officials' warning that the Chinese solar panel overcapacity will impact the efforts to finance a domestic clean energy industry, and sustainable energy company Qcells' call on the government to ensure that its panels can compete with exports.
