: The future of Southeast Asia’s booming solar industry, which produces the most panels in the world after China, is being thrown into doubt as the US looks set to impose hefty tariffs on the region.
"The mood of the suppliers is to pack the lines, especially the cell lines, and move them to either Indonesia, Laos or the Middle East,” said Yana Hryshko, the head of global solar supply chain research at Wood Mackenzie Ltd. Some Chinese manufacturers are waiting to see what the tariff level will be before deciding if they need to relocate, she said.
Some US firms are now asking Washington for further tariffs of as high as 272% on all solar products from the four countries, although BNEF said in May they would likely be between 30% and 50%. That compares with levies of 25% on China, which the White House is planning to double. A Longi spokesperson said in June that it had made adjustments to plans for output at several factories, in part because of the trade policy changes. The company said in a subsequent exchange filing that its factory in Malaysia is still shipping cells to the US, and it has no plan to move capacity as demand from other markets including India and Canada would be sufficient to support the Southeast Asian plants.
