August 6, 2026The ‌Trump administration will announce a 15% tariff and a series of price floors on ​products made from polysilicon, the key raw ​material used in solar panels and semiconductors, ⁠reports Reuters. The ​move aims to protect US polysilicon factories from ​growing Chinese ambitions in the chip supply chain. The announcement by US President Donald Trump is expected to include minimum ​import prices on polysilicon, wafers, cells and ​modules, or solar panels, and a 15% tariff on the ‌polysilicon ⁠derivatives, four anonymous sources told Reuters. Trump’s year-long national security investigation ​into polysilicon ​by the ⁠Commerce Department also has major implications for the growing domestic solar manufacturing ​industry at a time when the US ​leader ⁠has rolled back federal support for renewable energy.
