US solar makers seek tariffs against India, Indonesia and Laos
VIENTIANE (Bloomberg): US solar manufacturers said they have filed new trade petitions against India, Indonesia and Laos alleging illegal practices by largely Chinese-owned companies operating in those countries. The new anti-dumping and countervailing duty petitions were filed by the Alliance for American Solar Manufacturing and Trade, which includes First Solar Inc., Mission Solar Energy and Qcells. The trade group alleges China is flooding the market with unfairly cheap goods made in factories located in the three Asian countries. First Solar shares rose 4% to close at $173.54. The latest trade case adds new uncertainty to a US solar industry hit by tariffs and moves by President Donald Trump to arrest the growth of renewables. It also comes after the US slapped new duties on equipment made in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam and Cambodia. The US has seen a massive shift in its solar supply chain after a years-long investigation into tariff circumvention led to higher duties on solar equipment from the recently tariffed former top suppliers in Southeast Asia. As shipments from those nations shrank, Indonesia and Laos filled the gap. The two countries accounted for 44% of US cell and module imports in May, up from 1.9% in the same month last year, according to data from BloombergNEF. India has also seen solar exports to the US rise since mid-2022. "We have long written about the 'wack-a-mole' game of Chinese manufacturers shifting capacity' to countries outside of the four Southeast Asia countries recently hit with tariffs, wrote Philip Shen, an analyst with Roth Capital Partners. The trade petition triggers a process in which the US Department of Commerce investigates whether imports are unfairly priced or subsidized by a foreign government, while the US ITC determines whether those imports have injured the domestic industry. If successful, the cases could result in new duties. -- ©2025 Bloomberg L.P.

Roth sees removing resi leasing denial for 48E as meaningful positive for Sunrun
Roth Capital analyst Philip Shen doesn't expect IRA text to come out today. If the Senate Finance committee releases somthingm, it may only be on the tax provisions, such as SALT. IRA provisions adjustments are now expected Mnday. A contact that the firm has spoken with share that the Committee has been working hard on getting the FEOC language update and more workable. PIS language will likely get converted to construction start, which would be a meaningful positive for First Solar (FSLR), Array Technologies (ARRY), Nextracker (NXT), Shoals Technologies (SHLS), and Sunrun (RUN), Roth notes. The firm also sees residential leasing denial for 48E will likely be removed, which would be a meaningful positive for Sunrun. 25D still appears to be low probability. This remains a meaningful negative for Enphase (ENPH) and a negative for SolarEdge (SEDG), says Roth. The firm sees current levels as food buying opportunities for much of its coverage universe, given potentially a meaningful shift back to the original House bill, which was considered 'much less worse than feared for the industry.'

Fate of US$20bil solar market in hands of Senate
WASHINGTON: The troubled US$20bil US residential solar market's future rests on whether Senate Republicans will challenge their brethren in the House of Representatives and change provisions of the massive tax and spending bill that executives and analysts alike say would devastate the industry. The bill passed by the House last week would strip away tax credits for companies that lease rooftop solar systems as well as homeowners who buy them outright. The industry is already reeling from tariffs on imported equipment, high interest rates and reduced state incentives in California, the nation's biggest residential solar market. One major rooftop solar company – Sunnova Energy International Inc – is laying the groundwork for a bankruptcy filing, and analyst Philip Shen at Roth Capital Partners warned the bill as written would effectively shut down the industry, starting next year. Now, solar executives' hopes rest on moderate Republican senators, some of whom have already said they don't favour gutting clean-energy incentives. But given the party's slim majority in the House, it's unclear how willing they will be to change the bill and risk alienating fiscal hardliners in the lower chamber. 'I think there are many senators that are also focused on the fact that you don't want to pull out the rug,' said Mary Powell, chief executive officer (CEO) of Sunrun Inc, the nation's biggest residential solar company. She called the House bill 'not workable for Americans' and warned it would 'slash consumers' access to affordable, reliable solutions.' The industry has been struggling despite subsidies from former President Joe Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. High interest rates have made it pricier for companies to raise capital and for customers to finance solar panels. California cut the amount of money solar homeowners receive for electricity they supply to the power grid, lengthening the amount of time needed to recoup the cost of their systems. In addition, the US International Trade Commission voted this week to move toward slapping tariffs on solar equipment from four South-East Asian countries that provide the bulk of imported cells and panels, with levies ranging from 34% to 3,521% depending on the country and manufacturer involved. The vote was the culmination of a trade probe, and the United States has already been collecting preliminary duties for months. US residential solar installations fell 20% last year, according to BloombergNEF data. If the federal tax credits go away, the market will see a further 18% drop over the next 10 years, said BNEF analyst Pol Lezcano. The release of the House bill last Thursday sent solar shares tumbling, with Sunrun losing more than one-third of its market value. Equipment sellers Enphase Energy Inc and SolarEdge Technologies Inc also fell. Solar executives blasted the bill for essentially repealing much of the Individual Retirement Account's (IRA), which President Donald Trump has called the 'green new scam'. Former Sunnova CEO John Berger, in an interview on Bloomberg Television, said ending the solar tax credits for homeowners would be 'patently unfair and un-American'. Israel-based SolarEdge recently opened manufacturing plants in Texas and Florida, lured by the IRA's incentives. 'Removing the credits prematurely removes the business certainty necessary to continue the US investments SolarEdge has made,' a company representative said in an emailed statement. The impact on installation companies – many of them smaller, mom-and-pop operations – could be severe if homeowners decide they can no longer afford going solar. Leon Keshishian, CEO of Civic Renewables, called the potential loss of tax credits 'a killer' that could force him to cut staff at his company, which installs residential systems in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and Florida. 'It's going to be incredibly challenging,' he said. The loss of tax credits for solar leasing could be particularly damaging since leases account for about 70% of new solar installations, said Joseph Osha, a clean energy analyst for Guggenheim Securities. 'It's pretty dire,' he said. Solar industry leaders vowed an aggressive lobbying push in the Senate to change legislation that they say would result in economic upheaval and hundreds of thousands of job losses. 'We urge the Senate to reject the strident House approach and pass a reasonable energy policy for the American people,' Jason Grumet, CEO of the American Clean Power Association, said at the trade group's annual convention in Phoenix. — Bloomberg
