The investigation was announced in February this year with a parallel anti-subsidy inquiry following in April.

Companies that cooperated with the EU investigation will be charged slightly lower rate of 38.4% with Henan Yuhua given the lowest rate of 17.1% to reflect its smaller dumping margin. Hehe Group was given a 32.3% levy and Xinyi Group a 39.3% rate.

The EU believes that the duties could allow manufacturers that ceased production due to price pressure from an influx of low-cost Chinese solar glass to begin again.

Centrosolar sold its glass manufacturing arm to Belgian firm Ducatt for a nominal fee in May after it starting losing money in 2012.
