In a previous article for PV Tech, our head of research, Finlay Colville, discussed the sources of PV modules in the US. Modules assembled in Southeast Asia, including Vietnam, Thailand and Malaysia, accounted for about 70% of all solar PV modules landing in the US, he said. When it comes to company ownership, Colville said Chinese-owned companies supplied just over half of the modules consumed into US downstream channels in 2023.

In March, the US Department of Commerce (DOC) issued a final rule designed to tighten up the anti-dumping and countervailing duty (AD/CVD) regulations, which largely adopts the DOC’s rules proposed in May 2023 with minor revisions aimed to “enhance, improve and strengthen” the enforcement and administration of the AD/CVD laws.
