Multiple European solar associations have published an open letter, calling for the EU to develop industry strategy for the European solar PV sector and opposing the introduction of tariffs and trade barriers.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has rejected China’s challenges to US safeguard tariffs on certain crystalline silicon PV cells, ruling that the measures have not breached global trade rules.
India’s government has agreed on a financing package that includes INR 45 billion (US$603 million) of investment over five years to support the domestic development of high-efficiency PV modules.
