The minimum import price has been set at $21 per kilogram for polysilicon and $100 per kilogram for solar ingots and wafers. US Polysilicon Factories Could BenefitThe measures are expected to support major U.S. polysilicon manufacturing operations, including Hemlock Semiconductor’s facility in Michigan and Wacker Chemie’s plant in Tennessee. The policy also includes incentives designed to encourage companies to invest in new or expanded U.S. polysilicon manufacturing capacity. Solar Industry Faces New Import Price FloorsThe policy could have major consequences for the U.S. solar industry because the restrictions extend through several stages of the solar manufacturing supply chain. US Polysilicon Strategy Links Solar, Chips and AITrump’s polysilicon trade policy illustrates the growing strategic overlap between solar energy, semiconductor manufacturing and artificial intelligence.
