All large Chinese solar companies have made official comments about the US decision.

"As we stated in our testimony to the International Trade Commission, we are not dumping, nor do we believe that we are unfairly subsidized," said Robert Petrina, managing director of Yingli Green Energy Americas Inc, the operating subsidiary of Yingli Green Energy in the US.

"We will continue to fight for affordable solar energy and further growth of the tens of thousands of US solar jobs that we help to create."

The company said it remains dedicated to the US solar market regardless of the proceeding's outcome.

"The important thing to remember is that tariffs are bad for the entire solar industry," said Miao Liansheng, chairman and chief executive officer of Yingli Green Energy.

Trina Solar Ltd and Suntech Power Holdings Co said that they will continue to provide high-quality products and services to the US market.

Li said the Chinese domestic market for solar panels is growing rapidly. "The market size was five times as big in 2011 as it was in 2010. We expect the domestic market for solar panels will triple this year."
