Major solar panel plant opens in US amid backdrop of industry worries about imports_我的网站

A |     A South Korean company has begun production at a huge new solar panel factory in Georgia even as industry leaders say surging Asian imports could dampen efforts to make more solar components in the United States.Qcells, a unit of South Korea’s Hanwha Group, said Wednesday that it can now turn out enough solar panels to generate 5.1 gigawatts of power yearly at a two-factory complex in the northwest Georgia city of Dalton. That's almost 40% of U.S. solar panel capacity, according to figures from the Solar Energy Industries Association. Qcells' opened its first factory in 2019 and an even larger plant in phases since, what the company describes as the largest solar investment in American history. “It’s another milestone as we as a company really strive to become a global leader and a U.S. leader in solar manufacturing," said Scott Moskowitz, Qcells head of market strategy and public affairs, speaking with The Associated Press after a plant tour Monday.The company says its new plant is the first solar module factory in the U.S. to begin production since passage of President Joe Biden’s signature climate legislation. Qcells' $208 million investment again shows how federal incentives are spurring a nationwide boom in renewable energy and electric vehicles.Industry jitters about a flood of cheap solar panels from overseas show how dependent on federal policy the solar industry remains. That's a threat in part because former President Donald Trump, the frontrunner for the 2024 Republican nomination, is hostile to renewable energy.Qcells leaders say the new plant showcases more efficient equipment and processes, part of a much larger investment intended to bring key steps in solar manufacturing to the U.S. A solar panel, or module, is assembled from solar cells most commonly made from wafers cut from ingots of polysilicon. Today, the company's solar cells are imported from Asia. But 30 miles (50 kilometers) south of Dalton in Cartersville, Qcells is building a $2.3 billion complex to take polysilicon refined in Washington state and make ingots, wafers and solar cells — in addition to 3.3 gigawatts of solar modules. That plant is scheduled to open in phases starting next year.Currently, no silicon ingots or wafers are made in the U.S. But Biden's Inflation Reduction Act, besides offering a extra tax credit on American-made solar equipment, lets manufacturers earn incentives for every unit of polysilicon they refine and every wafer, cell and module they make. For example, Qcells earns a tax credit of 7 cents per watt for every panel it makes in Dalton, or $34.30 for every 490-watt residential panel made.Even with that boost, solar industry leaders warn, factories will struggle to compete with a new spike in cheap Asian imports. They're again urging federal officials to investigate whether solar panels are being dumped at unfairly low prices. Previous investigations have led to anti-dumping tariffs on panels made in China and Taiwan.U.S. officials shouldn't regard the spike as a normal market fluctuation, said Mike Carr, executive director of the Solar Energy Manufacturers for America Coalition, a group that includes Qcells. He argues Chinese component makers are pushing out cheap modules from southeast Asian factories, tanking panel prices to ensure Chinese dominance and smother U.S. manufacturing.“This is likely to be the No. 1 new energy source in the 21st century," Carr said. "It’s already cheaper than pretty much anything else to install. It is the path to meeting our climate goals. So I think it becomes a real national security kind of concern. The way OPEC is in oil markets, we don’t want to allow China to become that same controller of supply in solar.”Qcells sees current low prices as a “near-term challenge" in achieving economies of scale and serving a long-term market, Moskowitz said. Beyond trade policy, he said, requiring federal agencies to buy American-made products and promoting panels produced with fewer carbon emissions could bolster Qcells.Politics envelops the solar industry. Vice President Kamala Harris visited the plant earlier this year. At the state level, Republican Gov. Brian Kemp has wrestled with Democratic U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff over political credit for electric vehicle and renewable energy investments flowing to Georgia. “Out of all the places Qcells could have gone, they chose to operate and expand here in Georgia because of our unrivaled assets and the competitive package we put together,” Kemp said in a statement.Ossoff and fellow Georgia Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock note they authored the component incentives that benefit Qcells, emphasizing federal policy. “Our state is emerging as the advanced energy capital of the nation, thanks to federal infrastructure and manufacturing policies that are benefiting Georgia more than any other state,” Ossoff said in a statement.Qcells, for its part, praises both state and federal assistance.“To build these markets up and to have them work, you need a whole government approach," Moskowitz said.。

B |     春节‬前夕‬，京东‬创始‬人‬“刘强东”再次‬给‬家乡村民发年货‬，村里 60 岁以上的老人每人1 万现金，外加 600 万的年货‬礼包‬！刘强东老家‬的村子与周边村庄进行了合并，户数达到了1500户，这意味着更多的人将受益于刘强东的善举。无论是原本村里的老人，还是从其他村子合并过来的新村民，都能领到1万元的红包和丰富的年货。1月8日当天中午，江苏宿迁光明村热闹非凡，彩旗飘扬，村民们欢声笑语不断，当运钞车押送着超过1400万的现金驶入村庄，特警严密护卫，确保资金安全！这一幕，对于光明村的村民来说既震撼又感动……从网友晒出的视频画面‬可以‬看出刘强东为老家送年货的现场，十分的隆重盛大，现场，60岁以上的老人们排着整齐的队伍，凭借身份证领取刘强东发放的1万元红包。除了现金红包，还有11辆满载年货的大卡车驶入村庄，每一家都能领取到价值几千元的年货从电瓶车到家用电器、手机、粮油米面、零食酒水、‬衣服鞋子等等，这些年货礼包让光明村的村民们个个脸上都喜上眉梢！刘强东的父亲也在现场，他戴着一顶贝雷帽，看起来就是一位普通农民，不少人当着刘父的面夸赞刘强头，也夸他培养出来了个好儿子，刘父显得颇为谦虚：“都是他妈（刘强东母亲）培养的，他为家乡做点贡献也是应该的。”村民们为了表达感激之情在刘强东的老家门口贴上了对联，放起了烟花，还有的村民为刘强东送上了锦旗，上面写着“心系百姓，为民发物资””刘强东曾经在接受采访时提到当年能够去北京上学，离不开乡亲们2分5分钱地凑集起来的500元和70多个鸡蛋！这份恩情他一直铭记在心，如今他以实际行动来回报家乡人的支持和帮助。今年，刘强东为感念师恩还特意给自己以前读小学时的14位老师每人发10万元的现金红包！在给老师发放红包的现场，刘强东的小学四年级数学老师领到这10万元红包时激动不已。还有没有教过刘强东的老师领到这10万块钱时很意外，说能感受到刘强东很尊重老师，尊重教育！当刘强东的小学语文老师领到这10万元时表示自己很惭愧，他说：作为小学老师，只是一个启蒙老师，没有多少学问，准备把这笔钱捐出去，把这份爱的接力棒传下去。

C | 视频加载中...就在光明村这1500户人家沉浸在喜悦之中时，法学专家、芙蓉律师事务所主任“陈平凡”建议已经‬接受了‬刘强东红包的老人应及时向当地税务机关申报并缴税，看了这条新闻小编也是懵了，怎么收红包还要交税？陈平凡说，根据中国现行税法规定，个人接受赠与的现金属于偶然所得，需要依法缴纳个人所得税。在刘强东此次发放大额红包的情况下，60岁以上的老人和小学老师们作为受赠人，收到现金红包后需要按照税法规定缴纳个人所得税。

D | 根据《个人所得税法》第二条规定，个人所得包括偶然所得。同法第三条规定，偶然所得适用比例税率，税率为百分之二十。这意味着受赠人需要按照20%的税率缴纳个人所得税。按照‬陈律师‬的‬说法‬来看‬，刘强东此次发放红包的行为是个人行为而非京东公司的行为因此，这笔钱应被视为个人赠予，需要缴纳20%的个人所得税，意思‬就是‬收到村里‬收‬1万‬元‬老人需要缴纳2000元，收10万元‬的老师需要交2万元税。对此，很多网友们纷纷表示不理解，有网友说那老公领了一万的工资转手交给老婆，老婆是不是也要缴个人所得税？还有网友说：这是刘强东个人的钱，不是京东公司的钱，从京东公司账户到刘强东个人账户必须依法缴纳个人所得税45%，刘强东个人账户的钱想给谁就给谁，不需要重复收税。更有网友调侃道：当年刘强东上大学乡亲们资助的76个鸡蛋和500元是不是也要补税？其实在小编看来，刘强东赠予乡亲们的现金红包是感恩的回馈，并不需要交税，就像我们平常生活中亲朋好友间的金钱馈赠、礼尚往来，都是人之常情！但若是通过京东公司账户发放，那便有了商业行为的色彩，按规定交税也是理所当然。简而言之，个人间的馈赠免税，公司行为则需依法纳税，对此，你们怎么看？。
