With a flurry of recent activity, the U.S. government is administering or considering import duties and quotas on imports of solar energy equipment in three areas: The solar module tariff-rate quota under the “Section 201” law. Duties on solar modules, industrial batteries and many other items under the “Section 301” law.
The Administration will closely monitor the level of imported solar cells used to manufacture panels in the U.S. and will work to raise the quota by 7.5-gigawatts if imports approach the current quota level, to ensure domestic module manufacturing continues to grow while manufacturers scale production throughout the supply chain.
Currently, there is a 5-gigawatt tariff-rate quota for imported solar cells under Section 201.
