BEIJING The Biden administration’s solar power ambitions are colliding with complaints the global industry depends on Chinese raw materials that might be produced by forced labor.
A big hurdle is polysilicon, used to make photovoltaic cells for solar panels.

Other parts of China supply 35 percent. Only 20 percent comes from U.S. and other producers.
