Presidential Determination No. 2022-15 of June 6, 2022
Presidential Determination Pursuant to Section
303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as Amended,
on Solar Photovoltaic Modules and Module Components
Memorandum for the Secretary of Energy
Ensuring a robust, resilient, and sustainable domestic
industrial base to meet the requirements of the clean
energy economy is essential to our national security, a
resilient energy sector, and the preservation of
domestic critical infrastructure. Therefore, by the
authority vested in me as President by the Constitution
and the laws of the United States of America, including
section 303 of the Defense Production Act of 1950, as
amended (the ``Act'') (50 U.S.C. 4533), I hereby
determine, pursuant to section 303(a)(5) of the Act,
that:
(1) solar photovoltaic modules and module
components, including ingots, wafers, solar glass, and
cells, are industrial resources, materials, or critical
technology items essential to the national defense;
(2) without Presidential action under section 303
of the Act, United States industry cannot reasonably be
expected to provide the capability for the needed
industrial resource, material, or critical technology
item in a timely manner; and
(3) purchases, purchase commitments, or other
action pursuant to section 303 of the Act are the most
cost effective, expedient, and practical alternative
method for meeting the need.
Pursuant to section 303(a)(7)(B) of the Act, I find
that action to expand the domestic production
capability for solar photovoltaic modules and module
components is necessary to avert an industrial resource
or critical technology item shortfall that would
severely impair national defense capability. Therefore,
I waive the requirements of section 303(a)(1)-(a)(6) of
the Act for the purpose of expanding the domestic
production capability for solar photovoltaic modules
and module components.
