As a key member of a trade committee, First Solar successfully lobbied for antidumping and countervailing duties (AD/CVD) on solar products from competitors in Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, India, Indonesia, and Laos. This strategic use of trade policy is designed to increase the cost of competing imports and strengthen First Solar's competitive position in the U.S. market.
Filing excerpt
In April 2024, the American Alliance for Solar Manufacturing Trade Committee, which includes First Solar, filed a set of AD/CVD petitions with the USDOC and the USITC to impose duties on certain unfairly traded solar products from Cambodia, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam.
