China''s photovoltaic (PV) sector may have greater opportunities in the US market, after the Biden administration will reportedly declare a 24-month tariff exemption for solar panels from four
The first U.S. tariffs on Chinese made solar panels by the Obama Administration in 2012 blocked imports but failed to drive their stated purpose of surging the domestic solar panel industry. In 2015, those tariffs were expanded in response to Chinese companies shifting assembly to other Southeast Asian countries. And then in 2018
However, also raising tariffs on Chinese solar panels and their component parts from 25% to 50% through 2026, claiming China is "flooding global markets with artificially low priced" solar panels, will increase the price of solar installations to large numbers of U.S. customers concomitantly slowing the uptake of renewable energy.
Trump era tariffs against Chinese solar panels provide some answers regarding the potential consequences of Biden''s new measures on EVs. In my 2023 working paper, I show that tariffs against Chinese solar

In January 2024, four bipartisan senators asked President Biden for increased Sec. 301 tariffs on Chinese-made solar wafer, cell and module imports. Now, President Biden has directed Rep. Tai to add or increase tariffs
U.S. trade officials announced on Friday a new round of tariffs on solar panel imports from four Southeast Asian nations after American manufacturers complained that companies there are flooding
Clean Energy Associates released a summary of the seven solar module trade policies and solar panel import tariffs currently in place, including AD/CVD rulings, Section 201/302, and the Uyghur Protection Act. These tariffs have significantly increased, or will increase, the cost of hardware imports into the United states - predominantly from China, but
Notably, the adjusted 301 tariff expands to cover Chinese exports of polysilicon and mono-Si wafers, with a 50% tariff rate set to take effect on January 1, 2025. This move is expected to affect the upstream sector in the US PV supply chain.
The Biden administration announced it is raising tariffs on Chinese solar cells from 25 percent to 50 percent, in an attempt to protect against "China''s policy-driven overcapacity that depresses prices and inhibits the development
On May 14, 2024, the White House announced increased tariffs on Chinese imports "across strategic sectors such as steel and aluminum, semiconductors, electric vehicles, batteries, critical minerals, solar cells, ship-to-shore cranes, and medical products." Many of these sectors are key to the Biden administration''s plans to reshore manufacturing to increase supply chain
In January 2024, four bipartisan senators asked President Biden for increased Sec. 301 tariffs on Chinese-made solar wafer, cell and module imports. Now, President Biden has directed Rep. Tai to add or increase tariffs for certain Chinese products, including:

The tariff rate on solar cells is set to increase from 25% to 50% in 2024. The new tariff plan includes the removal of the tariff exclusion for bifacial solar panels under Section 201 of the Trade Act of 1974. The temporary duty-free importation of solar cells and modules from Southeast Asia is ending on June 6, 2024.

While the top 10 solar cell manufacturers are based in mainland China and control 84.8 percent of the global market, Chinese solar cells account for less than 1 percent of U.S. imports. As such, the new tariffs will have a marginal impact on U.S. solar installations.
Tariffs on solar wafers, polysilicon, and certain tungsten products from China are going to rise dramatically come January 1st, 2025, the Biden administration announced Wednesday. That means higher price tags on key materials needed to make solar panels at a time when solar is the fastest growing source of electricity in the US.
Tariffs on certain tungsten products will go from zero to 25 percent. Chinese companies produce more than 75 percent of the world’s polysilicon. Considering all the manufacturing stages for solar panels, which includes polysilicon and wafers, China holds more than 80 percent of global capacity. American manufacturers welcomed the changes.
EVs from China have been similarly subject to soaring tariffs during the Biden administration to 100 percent from 25 percent this year. In May, Biden also announced that tariffs on battery parts and lithium-ion batteries would rise to 25 percent from 7.5 percent.
The U.S. tariffs will put pressure—perhaps unwelcome—on other countries to adopt similar tactics, which will be helpful in pushing the surplus production back to China. The administration should also be using its diplomatic skill with U.S. friends and allies to encourage them to adopt similar tactics.
To be sure, Chinese policies aimed at boosting solar manufacturing have led to economies of scale that have allowed prices for solar panels to plummet around the world. Chinese companies also make much more affordable electric vehicles than US manufacturers.
