A group of US-based solar manufacturers have filed an antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition to the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and International Trade Commission (ITC).
First Solar CEO Mark Widmar has said that the US solar manufacturing industry “remains in a precarious position, despite the passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA)”.
US cadmium telluride (CdTe) thin-film module manufacturer First Solar has increased its manufacturing capacity in 2023 by 6.8GW, most of which from its Series 7.
Thin-film solar manufacturing could add over US$10 billion in product value to the US economy by 2026, according to a study commissioned by US thin-film cadmium telluride (CdTe) solar manufacturer First Solar.
