Commerce Department Imposes Steep Tariffs on Solar Panel Imports

The Commerce Department revealed Monday it will implement anti-subsidy tariffs targeting solar equipment imported from three Asian nations.

Department officials published preliminary countervailing duty rates on their website, showing tariffs of 125.87% on solar cells and panels from India, 104.38% on Indonesian imports, and 80.67% on products from Laos.

These three countries supplied $4.5 billion worth of solar equipment to the United States last year, representing approximately two-thirds of total solar imports in 2025, federal trade statistics show.
