The Trump administration plans to impose tariffs and a price floor on polysilicon imports to protect domestic producers.
The U.S. is preparing to introduce tariffs and a price floor on polysilicon and related products used in solar panels and semiconductors. The move, expected later this month, aims to support domestic polysilicon manufacturers facing competition from imports.
Polysilicon prices have faced downward pressure due to oversupply, particularly from overseas producers. Analysts anticipate the measures could stabilize prices and reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, benefiting U.S.-based producers.
Solar shares rose following the report, reflecting investor expectations of reduced competition and improved margins for domestic firms.
