A U.S. solar industry group warned on Wednesday that tariffs on imported panels from three Asian countries would jeopardize nearly 30 percent of the solar capacity the nation is expected to install over the next two years.
The Commerce Department is poised to decide by the end of September whether to launch a trade investigation into solar cells and modules from Malaysia, Vietnam, and Thailand. Those countries account for 80 percent of all panel imports into the United States, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) said in a statement.
