US President Joe Biden has announced a series of tariffs directed towards Chinese goods, including solar cells.

Under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974, solar cells – whether assembled or not into modules – tariffs will increase from 25% to 50% this year in a move to “protect against China’s policy-driven overcapacity that depresses prices and inhibits the development of solar capacity outside of China.”
