A group of US-based solar manufacturers have filed an antidumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) petition to the US Department of Commerce (DOC) and International Trade Commission (ITC), alleging “potentially illegal trade practices by Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam that are injuring the US solar industry”.

Major silicon-based manufacturers Qcells, Meyer Burger and REC Silicon and cadmium-telluride (CdTe) thin-film manufacturer First Solar are joined by smaller players – including New York-based Convalt Solar whose stated aim is to “make solar American again” – under the banner of the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee. The petition is seeking an investigation into the practices of solar manufacturers in the four named countries.
