Turkey establishes brand-new guidelines for solar module imports
The brand-new guidelines mention that import obligations on solar components will certainly currently be computed per kilo as opposed to by square meter, as they were under the old guidelines. This might prefer Turkish makers, as high-efficiency components are typically currently larger than they were a couple of years earlier. Under the previous policies, PV panel imports took pleasure in decreased value-added tax prices as returns boosted and also module dimensions stayed the same.
