The U.S. International Trade Commission released a report on the effectiveness of tariffs on CSPV cell and module imports, which will be sent to Biden and Congress. They acknowledged seven developments that have impacted the industry since the round initiated in 2022 by Biden. These include announcements of plans to start domestic CSPV cell production in the near term, increased imports of CSPV cells and modules and rising prices for them, a shift toward primarily bifacial CSPV cells and modules, decreased employment in the sector, and increased investments in it from the IRA passage.
