Keep China Out of Solar Energy Act of 2025

This bill would require the White House budget office, working with the General Services Administration, to write rules within 180 days that stop federal money from being used to buy solar panels made or assembled by companies based in China or controlled or influenced by the Chinese government or Communist Party. It would also bar the use of government purchase cards to buy those panels, and require the federal contracting rules to be updated. An agency could get a waiver if the company is the only workable source and the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security jointly approve. The bill also calls for a Government Accountability Office report on federal purchases of these panels and an outside study of the U.S. and global solar panel market and supply chain.
