Qcells, a South Korean solar energy company and subsidiary of Hanwha Solutions, has announced temporary pay reductions and reduced working hours for approximately 1,000 of its 3,000 employees in Georgia. The decision comes as U.S. Customs and Border Protection continues to detain imported components essential for solar panel production, citing concerns over potential forced labor in China. Additionally, the company will lay off 300 workers from staffing agencies at its facilities in Dalton and Cartersville, both located northwest of Atlanta.
