The United States Department of Commerce has issued a final ruling significantly raising anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariffs on photovoltaic cells imported from four Southeast Asian nations. The tariffs imposed on major domestic enterprises reach as high as 41.56% and 375.19%. This decision could potentially diminish the economic viability of photovoltaic production capacity in Southeast Asia. Given the insufficient battery production capacity within the United States and the limited capacity outside the four Southeast Asian countries, these tariff hikes may lead to a significant increase in the price of photovoltaic modules in the US. This scenario presents a favorable outlook for enterprises possessing battery production capacity within the US and in countries other than the four Southeast Asian nations.
