Huawei will source parts outside US, solar unit head says

SHANGHAI -- Huawei Technologies' world-leading solar power inverter business will find alternative suppliers for components that it now buys in the U.S. after Washington placed the manufacturer on a trade blacklist, a senior company official told Nikkei.

"We use American parts for some older-model products," said Tony Xu, head of Huawei's smart solar operations.
