Many manufacturers were waiting to see DOC&#8217;s decision before shipping panels (that may have retroactive duties) to the United States. This uncertainty \u2014 along with global supply chain issues \u2014 led President Joe Biden to announce a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2022\/06\/biden-seems-likely-to-pause-tariffs-from-doc-for-two-years-while-investigation-continues\/\">two-year pause on any additional tariffs<\/a> in June 2022.

Vietnam accounted for 41.6%, Malaysia was 20.1%, Thailand was 14.3% and Cambodia was 5.7%. Chinese imports accounted for only 0.1% of the U.S. supply during the same period. U.S. module buyers are fully taking advantage of Biden&#8217;s pause on tariffs.<\/p>\n<p>While there have been more announcements for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/tag\/usa-manufacturing\/\">new U.S. solar cell and panel manufacturing outfits<\/a> since the inclusion of tax credits in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2022\/08\/long-term-solar-itc-standalone-storage-direct-pay-inflation-reduction-act\/\">Inflation Reduction Act<\/a> this past summer, the country&#8217;s demand far <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/u-s-solar-panel-manufacturers\/\">outpaces supply<\/a>, and solar panels will must continue to be imported. These new tariffs will touch all markets \u2014 residential through utility-scale \u2014 beginning in 2024 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>George Hershman, CEO of SOLV Energy, the nation\u2019s largest utility-scale solar installer, said that today&#8217;s decision could jeopardize the solar industry&#8217;s ability to build projects to meet climate goals.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am a longtime advocate of the Inflation Reduction Act\u2019s tax credits to incentivize domestic panel production that will support future solar deployment and help us regain our position as a global leader in renewable manufacturing. However, it\u2019s inherently hypocritical to call the same manufacturing process taking place in the targeted countries \u2018minor and insignificant\u2019 when we\u2019re incentivizing the exact same process here in the U.S. It doesn\u2019t pass the commonsense test,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Ultimately, we need to put an end to harmful trade barriers and instead focus on creating jobs and bolstering our energy independence.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Today&#8217;s specific company outline is good news for South Korea&#8217;s Hanwha Group. Hanwha&#8217;s large solar cell and panel manufacturing outfit in Malaysia will be able to assist in the company&#8217;s U.S. manufacturing expansion efforts without extra tariffs. Maxeon, a Singaporean company that makes solar cells in Malaysia, is also planning U.S. manufacturing that would depend on Malaysian product during ramp-up. While not mentioned in either the tariffed or nontariffed camp today, Maxeon officials had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2022\/03\/commerce-will-investigate-alleged-ad-cvd-circumvention-by-chinese-solar-panel-companies-in-southeast-asia\/\">previously told\u00a0<em>Solar Power World<\/em> <\/a>that the company would try for a tariff exclusion due to Maxeon&#8217;s &#8220;premium pricing&#8221; that could not be interpreted as dumping. We are not aware of what wafers Maxeon uses in its products.<\/p>\n<p>Abigail Ross Hopper, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released a statement. SEIA has actively been campaigning against tariffs being extended to the four countries.<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">We\u2019re obviously disappointed that Commerce elected to exceed its legal authority. As a basic fact, solar cell and module manufacturing greatly exceed the anticircumvention statute\u2019s \u2018minor or insignificant processing\u2019 limitation.<\/p>\n<p>The only good news here is that Commerce didn\u2019t target all imports from the subject countries. Nonetheless, this decision will strand billions of dollars\u2019 worth of American clean energy investments and result in the significant loss of good-paying, American, clean energy jobs. While President Biden was wise to provide a two-year window before the tariff implementation, that window is quickly closing, and two years is simply not enough time to establish manufacturing supply chains that will meet U.S. solar demand.<\/p>\n<p>This is a mistake we will have to deal with for the next several years.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) president and CEO Gregory Wetsone released the following statement:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">The preliminary decision on solar tariffs from the Department of Commerce creates new challenges that threaten to undermine Biden administration efforts to address climate change and accelerate the clean energy transition. The U.S. solar industry was upended earlier this year when this tariff inquiry was launched, prompting more than 100 members of Congress to speak out in opposition and necessitating direct action by the White House to mitigate impacts. With today\u2019s decision, the Commerce Department appears to be doubling down on constricting solar availability and imposing massive new red tape with certification requirements that could further chill the industry and thwart the administration&#8217;s clean energy objectives. This is a major step backward at a time when there is finally hope the U.S. can get on the path toward a climate solution.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that we look forward to the development of an enhanced domestic solar manufacturing base over the next few years, spurred in part by the incentives in the Inflation Reduction Act. But that will not happen overnight. Like most sectors of the American economy, the solar industry has a global supply chain and a business model that relies on stable policies and predictable pricing. Today\u2019s decision will limit our ability to fortify our supply chain and reflects the dramatic shift from \u2018free trade\u2019 policies to protectionism in both parties. American consumers, and the effort to protect our climate, are unfortunately caught in the middle.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Michael Parr of the Ultra Low-Carbon Solar Alliance, which is promoting solar manufacturing within the United States, provided a statement:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">The Commerce decision in the Auxin case today makes it clear that the current solar supply chain is deeply challenged. We need to accelerate investments in solar manufacturing in low-carbon economies to build out a better solar supply chain. PV purchasers like Lightsource bp, D. E. Shaw Renewable Investments, L.L.C. and Silicon Ranch Corporation are demonstrating the important role buyers play in accelerating the build out of this more diverse, resilient solar supply chain. Buyers can send a powerful market signal through long-term supply agreements with low-carbon manufacturers to help ensure the development of robust PV manufacturing capacity for the future.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Statement from American Clean Power Association (ACP) interim CEO and chief advocacy officer JC Sandberg:<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-quote su-quote-style-default\"><div class=\"su-quote-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\">Today\u2019s announcement from the Department of Commerce is a step backward for the United States. This decision upends a decade of precedent that Commerce itself established, undercutting any sense of business certainty that American companies rely on to continue investing in America\u2019s clean energy future and impacting our ability to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;American solar companies are making critical 2024 procurement decisions now and today\u2019s decision casts greater uncertainty about the future of the solar industry in the U.S. that could lead to higher electricity bills. It could also undermine the impact of the Inflation Reduction Act, harming domestic manufacturing and endangering good-paying jobs across the country.<\/div><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Dept. of Commerce today released its preliminary decision, stating that certain Chinese solar cell and panel producers in four Southeast Asian countries are indeed working in those countries to avoid paying duties on Chinese-made solar goods.
