U.S. solar developers prepare for Section 232 measures on polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules from Dec. 4

pv magazine reports that new Section 232 measures take effect December 4 for polysilicon, wafers, cells and modules, with minimum import price thresholds of $0.22 per watt for solar cells and $0.38 per watt for finished solar modules under the proclamation. Developers are awaiting procedural instructions from CBP and Commerce on the self-certification forms importers must execute to clear shipments at ports after the deadline. The report says hardware for projects already under construction was contracted before the proclamation, with the main exposure in long-term procurement for pipeline projects scheduled for construction in 2027 and beyond.
