New antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) tariffs in the US could result in increased solar cell and module costs “to a level that significantly restricts solar supply and installations in the US”, according to new analysis from Clean Energy Associates (CEA).
The price of solar PV modules has hit bottom in the US, in response to the latest antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition and solar tariffs.
Chinese solar manufacturing giant LONGi Green Energy has addressed rumours it is planning to shut down production at its facilities in Southeast Asia in response to US import tariffs coming into force.
The flurry of recent tariff changes for solar imports to the US is likely to make products from Southeast Asia less attractive to buyers, according to renewables analysis firm Clean Energy Associates (CEA).
The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has initiated investigations into solar cell imports from Southeast Asia under the antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) tariffs.
An increase in solar module prices is “hard to imagine unless there is a massive shortage in supply”, according to PV Tech head of research Finlay Colville.
US renewables firm Clean Energy Associates (CEA) predicts that the solar industry’s latest anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition has a “high likelihood” of resulting in duties being paid on solar imports.
