The recent recommendation by the Directorate General of Trade Remedies (DGTR) to impose an antidumping duty of up to 30% on Chinese solar cells is likely to boost the domestic solar cell manufacturing sector. The antidumping duty recommendation also applies to modules using solar cells, originating in or exported from China. The DGTR has proposed to impose the duty for three years. Despite the challenges of cell supply crunches and rising module costs, both module and cell manufacturers have welcomed the move toward developing a more resilient domestic solar industry.
