Exemption of bifacial cell technology from Section 201 measures to accelerate switch from mono to bifacial cell lines outside of China and drive demand in the United StatesJune 17, 2019On 13 June 2019, United States Federal trade authorities ruled that bifacial solar modules will be exempt from Section 201 tariffs, as outlined in a notice from the Office of the United States Trade Representative. The ruling will dramatically increase demand for bifacial solar modules in the United States due to the opportunity of avoiding tariff rates of 15% to 25% through February 2022, in addition to the benefits of higher efficiencies and energy yields associated with such products. IHS Markit expects that demand for bifacial modules in the United States will be primarily served by manufacturing lines across Southeast Asia, as products shipped from China will still face antidumping and Section 301 tariffs that will make them less competitive.Subscribers Only

Revamping and repowering of Solar PV Plants: The size of the opportunity in Europe and how companies are facing this transitionNovember 14, 2018The concept of “revamping and repowering” is one of the newest terms in the solar industry. As the installed base of photovoltaic (PV) systems age, the concept of upgrading and improving operating plants becomes increasingly relevant to both manufacturers and PV plant asset managers. However, the real market size for new PV components in existing plants will depend on the characteristics of each plant, the overall regulatory framework and the economic benefits that will accrue to asset managersSubscribers Only

PV module suppliers to face intense competition in Europe as the MIP comes to an endAugust 29, 2018On 21 August, the majority of EU member states rejected the request for the initiation of expiry reviews with regards to the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures for crystalline solar PV modules and cells originated in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China. As such, the undertaking on the minimum import price (MIP) expired on 3 September after almost five years in place.

UPDATE 14 August - Few clear winners and many questions as India imposes safeguard duty on solar PV importsAugust 14, 2018UPDATE: On 13 August India’s Ministry of Finance released a statement, which directs All Principal Chief Commissioner/Chief Commissioner of Customs and Central Excise & GST, not to charge Safeguard Duty for the time being. This statement has been released to be in compliance with interim directions issued by the High Court of Odisha in written petition number 12817 of 2018. This decision means that PV modules and cells can for the time being enter India without any safeguard duty. Importers are however requested to sign a letter that obliges them to retroactively pay if the government re-instates the duties. The temporary halt to the safeguard duties improves the outlook for those companies seeking tariff exemptions for awarded projects, and for manufacturing in SEZs (see below). Near-term it means that shipments already heading to India can be cleared without duty (for now). New orders will depend on the confidence that developers and manufacturers have in the government's ability to approve the requested exceptions. IHS Markit assesses that it will take at least a month for the issue to be settled.

Safeguard duty investigation on PV imports clouds India outlookFebruary 14, 2018While anti-dumping measures are evaluated in India (see insight India anti-dumping duties petition adds on to PV module procurement woes) with the verdict expected by the second half of 2018, on 19 December 2017, India notified the WTO's Committee on Safeguards of a safeguard investigation on solar cells, whether or not assembled in modules or panels. In early January, the Directorate General of Safeguards (DGS) proposed a Provisional Safeguard Duty (PSD) of 70% on PV cells and modules from China and Malaysia, and possibly also Taiwan and Singapore, for 200 days.

United States solar import tariff reaches a conclusion, but a number of questions remainJanuary 23, 2018A period of huge uncertainty in the United States PV market was ended late on Monday 22nd January 2018 when the Trump administration made a final decision on implementing import tariffs on PV cells and modules. Although many stakeholders throughout the industry had campaigned against such a decision - warning that it would reduce domestic demand for PV by raising system prices, as opposed to igniting a domestic manufacturing industry, the tariffs were deemed somewhat inevitable after the ITC (International Trade Commission) ruled in their favour in October 2017.Subscribers Only

India anti-dumping duties petition adds on to PV module procurement woesNovember 22, 2017In June 2017, a group of Indian module manufacturers filed a petition for anti-dumping duties (ADD) against foreign PV module suppliers. Jupiter Solar Power, Indosolar Limited and Websol Energy has filed the petition with the help of Indian Solar Manufacturers Association (ISMA). In reaction to the petition, the Directorate General of Anti-Dumping and Allied Duties (DGAD) opened an investigation in July against imports from China, Malaysia and Taiwan. DGAD has also released the list of suppliers who will be investigated during the on-going process. From China, it includes BYD, Canadian Solar, Hengdian, Hanwha Q Cells, JA Solar, Risen, Suntech, Shunfeng, Trina Solar, and Tongwei Solar. From Taiwan, it includes Solartech and Motech. From Malaysia, it includes First Solar Malaysia, Jinko Solar, TS Solar Tech, Panasonic Energy Malaysia, and JA Solar Malaysia. The investigation is expected to complete by mid or end of 2018. If the investigation results in increased module prices, many planned PV projects under low tender tariffs will be at risk delay, potentially slowing the growth of the market.Subscribers Only
