AD/CVD

President Trump has signed orders to revoke parts of the IRA, examine trade relations with China and withdraw from the Paris agreement.

Chinese solar manufacturer Trinasolar is engaged in two legal proceedings with the US government over patents and import tariffs.

The DOC issued a list of companies on Friday (29th November) that it says are exporting solar cells to the US at prices below production costs, a practice known as “price dumping”.

Between fiscal years 2022 and 2024, India increased its import of solar modules 23-fold, primarily to the US, according to a new report from IEEFA and JMK Research.

Hounen Solar and Solar Long PV-Tech have said they do not have the resources to continue participating in the investigation.

The DOC's CVD ruling is a short-term win for certain manufacturers and a possible setback for many others in the US value chain.

This is the first determination reached in the ongoing antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) investigation into imports of crystalline silicon solar cells.

As the solar industry continues to grow and evolve, module blending can offer practical solutions for reducing project cost, particularly as antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) tariffs could be applied to Chinese products and US domestic content is incentivized, writes Burns & McDonnell.

The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee claims that imports from Vietnam and Thailand have "accelerated" since April's AD/CVD petition, and has alleged Critical Circumstances.

At the same time, the company said that US trade laws and tax credits had created some uncertainty in the solar project market.
