Bifacial panels, representing 98% of U.S. solar imports, may soon be subject to tariffs

In the dynamic world of solar energy trade, the Biden Administration is poised to make a significant move that could reshape the landscape. A recent Reuters report suggests that a trade exemption for bifacial solar modules, which has been pivotal in keeping costs down, may soon be lifted. This exemption, previously reinstated by the U.S. Court of International Trade in 2021, is now under scrutiny once again, following a petition by QCells, a major player with substantial U.S. investments. The potential revocation of this exemption could have far-reaching implications for the industry, affecting both import dynamics and pricing structures. As the industry braces for potential changes, all eyes are on the upcoming decision, expected to unfold in the coming months.
