Over the past month, there have been three major trade shows. In Shanghai, Munich and San Francisco the solar module manufacturers tried to find the bid in the market. The market is having a soft moment and the bid is hit or miss. That being said, our US market is still suffering from a 10-15 cent per watt penalty because of a useless punitive tariff. With Hemlock winning a round in US Courts, the hope is that the negotiations to settle heat up. The negotiations should include the removals of the tariffs in both the US and China on modules and silicon. I am hoping that clearer heads prevail going forward.
