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)”.

The US Senate has passed a vote to repeal Joe Biden’s two-year waiver on solar import tariffs, a decision which the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) has previously said could result in US$1 billion in retroactive tariffs for the industry and 4GW of project cancellations.

The US must prioritise grid investments if it is to unlock its full growth potential, a coalition of energy and manufacturing groups has told Senate and Congress leaders.
