American manufacturers argue solar imports injuring industry, file critical circumstances allegations :
Are some Southeast Asian countries rapidly dumping discounted solar products into the U.S. market to escape impending anti-dumping and countervailing duties? An alliance of major American solar manufacturers argue that’s exactly what the latest data shows.
The American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, represented by Wiley Rein LLP, filed critical circumstances allegations with the U.S. Department of Commerce last week concerning surges of imports from Vietnam and Thailand that it argues are “injuring the U.S. solar industry.” The imports, specifically, are crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether or not assembled into modules, from Vietnam and Thailand.
How a ‘farmer-first’ approach could lead to more successful agrivoltaics projects :
Agrivoltaics — co-locating solar arrays with farming operations – is generating enthusiasm among both farmers and clean energy advocates as a way to promote sustainability in agriculture.
When implemented correctly, agrivoltaics provides a vital dual income stream for farmers — in solar energy generation, but also as a means of providing an optimal growing environment for compatible crops and herds. The added revenue may allow more farmers to retain their land for themselves and future generations.
