(Reuters) -A group of U.S. solar panel manufacturers asked the Commerce Department to impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports from Indonesia, India and Laos, according to documents on an agency we site.
The petition is the latest effort by the small U.S. solar manufacturing industry to seek trade relief to protect billions of dollars of investment and compete with goods produced mainly by Chinese companies overseas.
The Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, which filed the petition, includes First Solar, Hanwha’s Qcells, Talon PV and Mission Solar.
