On February 4, the US government said it would extend the "201 tariff" on imported crystalline silicon solar modules and batteries for four years, raise the tariff threshold from 2.5gw to 5GW, and maintain the exemption for double-sided components. The new policy will take effect from February 7.
As an important clean energy product, the increasingly wide application of photovoltaic products helps to effectively deal with climate change and is of great significance to achieve the greenhouse gas emission reduction targets of various countries. However, despite the strong opposition of relevant parties at home and abroad, the U.S. government insisted on extending the import tariff of photovoltaic, which not only does not contribute to the healthy development of the U.S. photovoltaic industry, but also distorts the normal international trade order of photovoltaic as a new energy product, and has an adverse impact on the realization of the goal of developing a global economy with low greenhouse gas emissions and promoting the common well-being of all mankind.
