SolarWorld Americas has highlighted its remedial policies to the US ITC Section 201 case that include not only a minimum import price (MIP) but a total import limit of solar cells and modules at levels around half the demand in the US in 2017.
SolarWorld Americas agreed with Suniva on MIP levels of US$0.25 per watt on imported solar cells and US$0.32 per watt on modules starting in 2018 and running for four years.
However, SolarWorld Americas went further than Suniva by suggesting to the ITC that that a cap on module imports of 5.7GW in 2018, while solar cell imports should be capped at 220MW.
