Other “Domestic” Suppliers: A few manufacturers with U.S.-based production or assembly – such as Hanwha Qcells (Georgia factories), First Solar (Ohio), Mission Solar (Texas), and Silfab (Washington) – do not incur these import tariffs on their U.S.-made panels. They have an effective price advantage now.
Key U.S. allies saw more moderate tariffs (e.g. European Union 20%, South Korea 25%, India ~27%), and many others received the flat 10% rate (pv-tech.org) These tariffs took effect in April and immediately reshaped the cost structure for solar equipment imports.
Although most of the solar energy industry opposed the action, Suniva and SolarWorld argued that, without a tariff on solar cells, remaining United States solar manufacturers could go out of business. The ITC found that cheap solar panel imports were causing injury to domestic solar manufacturers.
