There may be a major problem this time around with this new AV/CDV case this time is being proposed as a “retroactive” tariff. SO, last time it was “telegraphed” that tariffs were coming, and many solar PV firms got smart and loaded up with very large Chinese manufactured panels at great prices in the $0.17/watt range for product runs at or over 100K panels. They warehoused them and met their customers’ needs as they came along. This time around, it looks like if you have it on the warehouse shelf, you will still pay a tariff on the panels or installation products from Maylasia. Where solar PV companies may NOT get gigged, is IF they bought solar PV bi-facial panels and have these units warehoused waiting for customers and their projects. It seems that bi-facial panels aren’t under the 201 tariffs.
