7 U.S. PV Imports
•
18.3 GWdc of PV modules were imported into the United
States in the first 9 months of 2022, down 2% y/y.
-
Most panels imported were exempt from Section 201
duties and were therefore likely bifacial. A significant
number of thin-film modules were also imported.
1.8 GWdc of cells were imported in the first 9 months of
2022, down 18% y/y.
-
Despite the renewal of the Section 201 tariffs in February,
which raised the quota exemption from 2.5 GWdc to 5.0
GWdc, there has not been a significant uptick in the
import of solar cells. Imports are on track to match those
of 2021.
