A U.S. Commerce Department investigation into claims that China circumvented U.S. tariffs on solar components is already having a chilling effect.

President Biden extended Trump-era tariffs on imported solar cells and panels but continued an exemption for bifacial panels and lowering the tariff amount.

Speakers and attendees of SEIA's 30x30 Policy Forum were optimistic that the Senate would pass the Build Back Better Act.

President Trump’s new tariff on imported solar cells and modules will slash domestic solar output and wipe out tens of thousands of jobs, a major solar trade industry association said.

The U.S. International Trade Commission recommended that President Trump impose import duties as high as 35% on solar cells and modules.

The Trade Commission ruled that solar cell imports are harming domestic manufacturers, opening the way for tariffs that critics say could slow solar growth.
