Conflict Minerals Disclosure
ReneSola Ltd (“ReneSola”) is
a leading fully-integrated solar project developer and provider of energy-efficient products based in China. Capitalizing on its
proprietary technologies, economies of scale, low cost production capabilities, technical innovations and know-how and leveraging
its in-house polysilicon, wafer and module manufacturing capabilities, ReneSola provides high quality, cost competitive solar power
products and processing services to a global network of suppliers and customers, which includes leading global manufacturers of
solar wafers, cells and modules and distributors, installers and end users of solar modules. ReneSola also constructs and sells
solar power products in various countries around the world.
The disclosures herein for the reporting
period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2016 are presented to comply with Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
According to section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the definition in the Form SD and
for the purposes of this assessment, conflict minerals are defined as columbite-tantalite (coltan), cassiterite, gold, wolframite,
and their derivatives, which are limited to tantalum, tin and tungsten.
Description of Reasonable Country
of Origin Inquiry
ReneSola has taken the following steps as
part of its reasonable country of origin inquiry to determine whether the conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country:
- compiled a list of materials and equipment
used during the production of its products;
- determined which conflict minerals were
necessary to the functionality or production of products manufactured or contracted to be manufactured by ReneSola (“
necessary
conflict minerals
”);
- identified the suppliers whose products
contained necessary conflict minerals (“
Suppliers in Concern
”);
- requested that the Suppliers in Concern
provide confirmation detailing where they obtained their products and materials that contained conflict minerals and requested
that they provide certificates or confirmation of origin for these products and materials; and
- analyzed whether the necessary conflict
minerals used by ReneSola during the reporting period may have originated in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or an adjoining
country or whether they were from scrap or recycled sources.
ReneSola determined that during the reporting
period, the only conflict mineral necessary to the functionality or production of products that it manufactures or contracts to
be manufactured were tin and tungsten. Solder strip used in the production of modules use tin as one of the raw materials. Tungsten-steel
die and blank die used in production of steel rods to slice wafer use tungsten as one of the raw materials. ReneSola has made inquiries
with all its suppliers of solder strip, tungsten-steel die and blank die about the source of the tin and tungsten used in their
products and have obtained confirmation as to the origin for the tin and tungsten contained in their products. ReneSola does not
make purchases of raw ore or unrefined conflict minerals and makes no purchases in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining
countries.
Determination
Based on ReneSola’s reasonable country
of origin inquiry, ReneSola has no reason to believe that its necessary conflict minerals may have originated in the Democratic
Republic of the Congo or an adjoining country.
