The U.S. Department of Commerce has delayed its ruling on the anticircumvention/antidumping case levied against four Southeast Asian countries alleged of harboring tariff-dodging solar goods.

Boviet Solar will supply its 550 W bifacial solar modules for utility-scale projects.

The PERC PV cell, monofacial and bifacial solar module provider will supply its Vega series modules for a US project.

Paul Wormser and Christian Roselund of Clean Energy Associates joined pv magazine to discuss the moratorium on solar tariffs and other executive actions taken by the White House.

The order for Boviet’s 550 W Vega Series bifacial panels will power a utility-scale solar project in the United States.

Concurrent with the two-year halt of solar tariffs on major Southeast Asian panels suppliers, the Biden Administration invoked the Defense Production Act and is using the full power of federal procurement capabilities to boost US-made solar.

An untenable level of risk onset by the Department of Commerce’s anticircumvention investigation has essentially shut down US procurement of PV modules, and Commerce is expected to take its full allotment of 150 days to make a ruling, said an industry note from Philip Shen, managing director, ROTH Capital Partners.

Array Technologies’ close relationship with First Solar, Hanwha, and Maxeon may be the reason for its strong revenue guidance, said an industry note from Phil Shen, managing director of ROTH Capital.

Boviet Solar has announced plans to rebrand its modules, while shifting its focus to new cell technologies.

SOLV Energy CEO George Hershman joined pv magazine to offer his view on the antidumping/anti-circumvention case.
