LEHI, Utah, Dec. 5, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Vivint Solar, Inc.
(NYSE: VSLR), a leading full-service residential solar provider,
today announced its CEO David
Bywater will testify at a public hearing held by the United
States Trade Representative (USTR) regarding the Section 201 solar
trade case. Bywater is scheduled to speak on December 6, 2017 in Washington, D.C. alongside solar industry
leaders on a panel organized by the Solar Energy Industries
Association.
Bywater will deliver testimony on the importance of protecting
American jobs and supporting continued economic growth in the
residential solar industry by rejecting the proposed trade relief.
His testimony will emphasize that he believes tariffs and
government intervention will harm the solar industry.
"The solar industry is an economic engine that employs more than
260,000 American workers today according to the Solar Energy
Industry Association," Bywater said. "I look forward to testifying
before the USTR and encouraging the Trump administration to put the
American worker first."
The USTR is holding this public hearing to help inform the
decision of President Trump, who received a formal remedy
recommendation from the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC)
on November 13 and must make a final
determination in the case in January
2018.
To schedule a phone interview with David
Bywater or obtain a copy of the transcript of his testimony
