Duty bound: US solar navigates choppy tariff waters
The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) expects US solar additions to hit 15.7 GW in 2022, down 33% from 2021. Policy-driven supply constraints are the primary reason for the decline, as developers and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) are struggling to navigate a raft of trade actions, including anti-dumping duties and measures to eliminate forced labor. Dan Shreve, vice president of market intelligence for Clean Energy Associates (CEA), reports.
Solar goods coming into the US from China and Southeast Asia may soon be subject to a 239% anti-dumping duty, with a final determination expected from the Department of Commerce on May 1.
