Beijing time on the 17th Bloomberg reported that in order to avoid the 30% import tariffs announced by US President Donald Trump, the fourth quarter of last year, U.S. customers imported a large number of solar panels from China, making the Chinese-made panels overwhelmed the US solar market.
According to a report from Bloomberg New Energy Finance on Friday, China delivered almost 12 times more solar panels to US customers in the fourth quarter of 2017. American manufacturers also import solar panels from Mexico, Canada and other countries and Battery, to circumvent the import tariff announced last month.
Tariffs do not apply to the first 2.5GW of imported products this year, but up to 5GW of solar equipment has been stored in warehouses and ports across the United States, according to Hugh Bromley, a solar analyst at New Energy Finance, which is sufficient to meet demand for about six months Will undermine the impact of U.S. protectionist policies on manufacturers.
'The' slow pace 'in Washington's bureaucracies allows the solar industry to avoid the full impact of tariffs,' Bromley said in an interview. 'Tariffs will not be as destructive as some in the industry warn.'
