“Module manufacturers need cells, and they need them at a low cost,” said CEA VP Daniel Shreve. Image: Port of Los Angeles.
New antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) tariffs in the US could result in increased solar cell and module costs “to a level that significantly restricts solar supply and installations in the US,” according to new analysis from Clean Energy Associates (CEA).
The report – commissioned on behalf of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE) – finds that potential new AD/CVD tariffs could raise the prices of US-made solar modules by US$0.10/watt and imported modules by US$0.15/watt. This would “significantly impact” solar project economics, CEA said.
