This year s latest policy on photovoltaic panels

How many GW DC of photovoltaics are installed in 2023?

The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that in 2023, 407–446 gigawatts direct current (GW dc) of photovoltaics (PV) was installed globally, bringing cumulative PV installs to 1.6 terawatts direct current (TW dc). China continues to dominate the global market, representing ~60% of 2023 installs, up 120% year-over-year (y/y).

What did Doc say about solar panels?

In August, the Department of Commerce (DOC) published its final conclusion on a controversial investigation of solar panel parts manufacturers that began in March 2022.

What will the US government do if imported solar panels exceed quota?

The Administration will closely monitor the level of imported solar cells used to manufacture panels in the U.S. and will work to raise the quota by 7.5-gigawatts if imports approach the current quota level, to ensure domestic module manufacturing continues to grow while manufacturers scale production throughout the supply chain.

Why are American solar manufacturers pushing for more protections?

American solar manufacturers are pushing for further protections for their new factories against cheaply priced imports from China. Tariffs on some solar products made by Chinese companies in Southeast Asia were reinstated on Thursday after a two-year pause. Agence France-Presse — Getty Images

Is solar photovoltaic the least expensive electricity option?

While solar photovoltaic (PV) is already the least expensive electricity option in dozens of states, it is important to bring this low-cost, zero-carbon electricity to more parts of the country to save American families money.

Will federal solar procurement stimulate demand for a gigawatt solar module?

These federal procurement measures can stimulate demand for up to a gigawatt of domestically produced solar modules in the near term, and up to 10 gigawatts over the next decade from U.S. government demand alone.
