The US Department of Commerce (DOC) has released a final regulation aimed at enhancing the anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) regulations. This ultimate decision closely follows the DOC''s proposed rules from May 2023, with slight adjustments intended to bolster the enforcement and management of the AD/CVD laws. The recent changes include a
The dumping of solar modules, where exporters sell their products in foreign markets at prices below the cost of production or below the domestic market price, can undercut local producers and disrupt the market balance. In response to this perceived threat, Turkey has announced its intention to levy an anti-dumping fee of $25 per square meter on solar module

Utilisation rates for finished solar panel production capacity tumbled to 23% in February 2024, down from more than 60% a year earlier, according to data from consultancy PV Infolink.
Considering an average panel lifetime of 25 years, the worldwide solar PV waste is anticipated to reach between 4%-14% of total generation capacity by 2030 and rise to over
Considering an average panel lifetime of 25 years, the worldwide solar PV waste is anticipated to reach between 4%-14% of total generation capacity by 2030 and rise to over 80% (around 78 million tonnes) by 2050. Therefore, the disposal of PV panels will become a pertinent environmental issue in the next decades. Eventually, there will be great
The European Commission launched an investigation on Thursday into suspected dumping of solar panels concerning imports into the European Union (EU) of
Polysilicon prices remain stable ahead of U.S. Department of Commerce''s anti-dumping ruling In a new weekly update for pv magazine, OPIS, a Dow Jones company, provides a quick look at the main price trends in the global PV industry.. Two utilities share their experience with reconductoring that can enable more solar While replacing existing
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union launched an anti-dumping probe into Chinese solar panels on Thursday after an industry association claimed the products were being exported for less than it costs to make them.
The European Commission today launched an anti-dumping investigation into imports of solar panels and their key components (i.e. solar cells and solar wafers) originating in China. EU
On November 29, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced its preliminary affirmative determinations in the antidumping duty (AD) investigations of
On October 1, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced its preliminary affirmative determinations in the countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of crystalline photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled into
The U.S. enforced anti-dumping duties on Chinese-made solar components for a decade after a Commerce investigation found Chinese companies were receiving large government subsidies that kept their prices artificially low. The five companies found in violation and others will face the same tariff duty rates the U.S. currently assesses on Chinese
On October 1, 2024, the U.S. Department of Commerce (Commerce) announced its preliminary affirmative determinations in the countervailing duty (CVD) investigations of crystalline photovoltaic cells whether or not assembled into modules (solar cells) from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (Vietnam).
A dumping investigation into imports of solar panels from China was launched today by the European Commission following a complaint from a PV industry association on

Their claim is that Chinese-based solar companies have circumvented anti-dumping duties that the U.S. government has in place on solar modules and cells produced in China via these facilities in Southeast Asia.
McKinsey forecasts global annual installations of solar PV could increase 50-fold by 2020 compared with 2005. Hence, there is intense competition amongst solar manufacturers which China is winning through subsidies and dumping. "Solar energy is a critical component of the EU''s renewable energy mix and has a sunny future. The EU must stand up to
In an unexpectedly early announcement, the European Commission has decided to end EU anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures on solar PV cells and modules from China at midnight on September 3.
Solar PV has low capacity utilisation relative to other electricity generation technologies. In fact, despite the EU''s much greater deployed solar capacity, the EU and US generated similar amounts of solar electricity in 2023 (Figure 2). This is largely a consequence of the US having on average more sunlight hours per year. Average numbers of sunlight hours
BRUSSELS (AP) — The European Union launched an anti-dumping probe into Chinese solar panels on Thursday after an industry association claimed the products were
A preliminary assessment from the U.S., which imported more than $3 billion in solar cells and panels from China last year, said China was dumping the products on the U.S. market at margins ranging from 31 percent to 250 percent, and levied temporary tariffs to counteract the distortion.
Considering an average panel lifetime of 25 years, the worldwide solar PV waste is anticipated to reach between 4%-14% of total generation capacity by 2030 and rise to over 80% (around 78 million tonnes) by 2050. Therefore, the disposal of PV panels will become a pertinent environmental issue in the next decades.
Therefore, the methods of dealing with solar PV waste material, principally by recycling need to be established by 2040. By recycling solar PV panels EOL and reusing them to make new solar panels, the actual number of waste (i.e., not recycled panels) could be considerably reduced.
The estimated cumulative worldwide solar PV module waste (tonnes) 2016–2050 [13, 14]. 7. Conclusion Based on the swift growth in the installed PV generation capacity, we propose that the number of EOL panels will necessitate a strategy for recycling and recovery which need to be established by 2040.
Global installed PV capacity reached around 400 GW at the end of 2017 and is expected to rise further to 4500 GW by 2050. Considering an average panel lifetime of 25 years, the worldwide solar PV waste is anticipated to reach between 4%-14% of total generation capacity by 2030 and rise to over 80% (around 78 million tonnes) by 2050.
Worldwide, the recycling of PV products requires producers to employ waste management techniques or employ the service of companies or non-profit organizations and solar PV waste management advisors to help them deal with the problem of EOL panels .
