The ‘butterfly effect’ of Chinese PV listings
A recent study shows that PV costs have declined faster than any other energy technology over the past two decades. The researcher behind the study said this would not have been possible without the “butterfly effect,” which is based on the idea that a small change in one part of a complex system can have a large impact elsewhere. The researcher also attributed the the rapidly declining cost of PV to Chinese manufacturing and strong US investor support.

Bifacial tariff exception remarks remain in: Installers desire untaxed components, panel makers do not
This previous Monday, Feb. 17 was the due date for remarks concerning bifacial components' exception from the Section 201 tolls on all imported photovoltaic panels. Tariffs on all imported photovoltaic panels-- not simply those originating from China-- were first started in 2018. Bifacial components got complete exemption in June 2019 prior to their exception was withdrawed in October 2019. The U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) actioned in as well as renewed the exception in December 2019.
