Bigger Sec 301 tariffs on Chinese solar panels and other solar/storage/EV-related products, but solar panel manufacturing equipment from China gets a pass

Big tariff news week, more coming. Bifacial solar panels are no longer exempt from Sec. 201 tariffs solarpowerworldonline.com/2024/05/bifaci…

I kind of get into the weeds on solar panel stats, so here are the important bits (to me) of the news that LONGi launched a module with new M11 wafer size: the new wafer is rectangular and the panel is about four inches longer than the previous big boy solarpowerworldonline.com/2024/05/longi-…

Hey. When animals are used for vegetation management on solar projects, is that considered "agrivoltaics" ?? I'm so deep into the weeds on this, I need help.

Waiting for the official word on this, and now we have it: NorSun will make silicon ingots and wafers at new 5-GW factory in Tulsa, Oklahoma solarpowerworldonline.com/2024/06/norsun…

I have another in-the-weeds question, possibly: I was once told that ingot pulling is temperamental and you want to do it in an area with few major vibrations. Isn't being next door to an international airport kind of against this logic?

Interesting.... LG is pausing construction in Arizona on its battery plant for ESS, but is continuing construction on its battery plant for EV. utilitydive.com/news/lg-pauses…

Didn't even have this anywhere near my 2024 solar bingo card. Thin-film manufacturer First Solar has crystalline silicon patents and will investigate TOPCon patent infringement. solarpowerworldonline.com/2024/07/first-…

Toyo Solar, the Japanese company affiliated with VSUN (Vietnam Sunergy), the Viet-manuf location once for China's Sunergy, says it is moving forward with a 2-GW solar panel assembly plant somewhere in the USA. I'm always deep in the weeds. prnmedia.prnewswire.com/news-releases/…
