Two years after White House solar panel tariffs, industry outlook isn't brighter

The White House’s tariffs, meant to boost the domestic solar panel industry, haven’t benefited most companies, who say they would rather the administration get rid of the levies instead.

The International Trade Commission, a federal agency, reported on Friday that the tariffs of up to 30% placed on the imports of panels and the key components of panels two years ago had not prevented imports from rising or domestic companies from going out of business.
