Investigation may affect solar tariffs
If you import or make solar panels or parts, the U.S. International Trade Commission has opened an evaluation of the four-year import relief that ended on February 6, 2026. The Commission must send a report to the President and Congress within 180 days after that termination, and that evaluation could influence future tariffs or trade rules affecting solar product importers and manufacturers.
