U.S. to impose 15 percent tariff on polysilicon, key material for chips and solar
The United States will introduce minimum import prices and a 15 percent tariff on polysilicon, a key input for semiconductors and solar panels, to curb China-led supply chains and bolster domestic manufacturing. Minimum prices will apply to polysilicon, ingots, wafers, solar cells and modules, with the measures due to take effect on Dec. 4. The White House also allows the Commerce Department to create incentives supporting investment in U.S. production facilities.

China to require phase-out of inefficient solar panels from 2027
China will introduce mandatory energy-efficiency standards across its solar industry from Jan. 1, 2027, covering polysilicon, wafers, crystalline silicon modules and grid-connected inverters. The rules will turn previously recommended benchmarks into binding requirements and are expected to affect production, procurement, imports and equipment selection for renewable projects. New national standards will tighten energy-use requirements for polysilicon processes and raise efficiency expectations in wafer manufacturing and finished products.
