section 201

The Biden administration is expected to lift a trade exemption of bifacial solar modules in the US, according to a report from media outlet Reuters.

US Senators Jon Ossof and Reverend Raphael Warnock have urged the Biden administration to support the domestic solar manufacturing industry.

The strength of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) is dependent on other implemented policies, according to Giovanni Bertolino, head of 3Sun USA.

Solar cell manufacturer Suniva has unveiled the restart of its manufacturing operations with up to 2.5GW of monocrystalline silicon solar cells in Georgia, US.

After years of protracted legal disputes and millions in import duties, the Section 201 tariffs on Canadian solar product shipped to the US could end soon. PV Tech Premium spoke with Heliene about what it means for Canadian PV manufacturing.

A dispute resolution panel has ruled that tariffs on Canadian solar products imposed in 2018 by the US contravene the terms of the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on trade, with Canada now keen to reap the benefits for its solar industry.  

President Joe Biden’s move to extend tariffs on imported solar modules and cells will distort international trade, China's commerce ministry has said.

Section 201 tariffs on solar imports to the US will be extended by four years, however bifacial panels will continue to be exempt and the tariff rate quota for cell imports doubled.

The Biden administration is said to be considering making bifacial panels exempt from extended Section 201 tariffs on solar imports, according to unconfirmed reports.

The US Government has appealed against the reinstatement of an exemption from Section 201 tariffs for bifacial modules.
