It is no exaggeration to describe the export of US photovoltaic products by "strictly guarding against death."
Only two years ago, the United States once again launched a "double-reverse" investigation on my photovoltaic industry, and wanted to exclude all of China's photovoltaic products from the US market.
But this time, domestic PV companies have settled down a lot.

The US side "strictly guards against death"

On February 14, the US International Trade Commission made a preliminary ruling that the crystalline silicon photovoltaic products imported from China and Taiwan will cause substantial damage to related industries in the United States. The US government will continue to "double-reverse" such products. survey. This is only the first time in the United States to launch a "double-reverse" investigation of China's photovoltaic products, only two years.
In this regard, the head of the Ministry of Commerce's Import and Export Fair Trade Bureau said on February 17 that the US aims to strictly limit China's export of crystalline silicon photovoltaic products to the United States.
In fact, since May 2013, China and the United States have conducted several rounds of negotiations on properly addressing trade frictions in the photovoltaic sector. However, during the negotiation process, the US announced a second round of “double-reverse” investigations on Chinese PV products. In the view of the people in the Ministry of Commerce, the US side "does undoubtedly exacerbate the trade friction of photovoltaic products, and also creates obstacles for the negotiation and settlement of Sino-US PV product trade friction."
But this is not the first time. As early as November 2011, the US side ignored the Chinese opposition and insisted on launching a “double-reverse” investigation on Chinese-made photovoltaic cells. In December 2012, it decided to impose “double-reverse” tariffs. Among them, the anti-dumping tax rate is 18.32%~249.96%, and the countervailing duty rate is 14.78%~15.97%.
According to the procedure, the US Department of Commerce will make a preliminary decision on the subsidy issue on March 28, 2014, and make a preliminary decision on the dumping issue on June 11.
The US International Trade Commission failed to fully and objectively consider the facts and status quo of the interdependence of Sino-US PV industry. China's PV products not only did not harm the interests of US industry, but also brought huge commercial benefits and employment opportunities to the upstream and downstream industries of the United States.
In this regard, the Ministry of Commerce said that it will organize and coordinate the Chinese PV industry and related enterprises to continue to do legal defense work on industrial damage, dumping, subsidies and other issues, and safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of China.
"This time with the last 'double counter' investigation is actually one thing, the last continuation." Vice Chairman of the China Renewable Energy Society and senior engineer Meng Xianyu told the reporter.
He said that the previous "double-reverse" ruling was only for Chinese photovoltaic cells and components made of Chinese battery chips. If domestic manufacturers buy battery chips from Taiwan and then make components, they will not be taxed. Therefore, in order to avoid the high penalty rate of “double opposition”, some domestic enterprises bought battery chips from Taiwan in order to “return” into the US market.
According to statistics, in 2013, mainland China purchased 3 GW of solar cells from Taiwan, accounting for 45% of Taiwan's exports. And this 3 GW of purchases happens to be the number of PV modules exported from China to the United States.
According to a notice issued by the US Department of Commerce on January 23, the products involved in this investigation are crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells, whether individually, partially or completely assembled into other products, including but not limited to batteries, components, laminates, panels and buildings. Integrated materials, etc.
Therefore, the purpose of the US investigation is to cover all other PV products from China that were not included in the last time, and to propose anti-dumping against Taiwan, blocking the tax avoidance channels of Chinese companies in the past.
The "double-reverse" investigation is also the old rival SolarWorld of China's PV companies. “SolarWorld tried to exclude all types of PV products of Chinese companies from the US market through this “double-reverse” survey.” China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Mechanical and Electrical Products pointed out.
The Chamber of Commerce of Electrical and Mechanical Industry said that the company’s difficulties in operating in the United States stemmed from errors in its business strategy, high production costs and changes in the domestic market environment in the United States, which were not necessarily related to the import of Chinese products.
In the view of the Chamber of Commerce, SolarWorld re-applied to initiate a trade remedy investigation. This comprehensive restriction on the entry of Chinese PV products into the US market is a typical means of abusing trade remedies. Its purpose is to protect its own interests through unreasonable trade barriers. Avoid the legitimate competition of Chinese companies. The Electromechanical Chamber of Commerce said that Chinese PV companies will actively defend the above issues in response to the lawsuit, and called on the US Department of Commerce to dismiss the unreasonable demands of Solaré„„World in accordance with US law. At the same time, Chinese PV companies will actively and forcefully respond to double-reverse investigations and defend their legitimate interests.

The Chinese "have food in hand"

“Reference to the double-reverse incidents that occurred in Europe before, Coveme has the confidence to believe that the negotiations between the two countries and bilateral agreements can achieve positive results.” Mr. FabioMenicanti, deputy director of the photovoltaic business unit of Coveme, Italy, told this reporter that “need to recognize This negotiation is related to the interests of all solar energy practitioners and not just one aspect of the industry."
As a manufacturer of photovoltaic backsheets, although Coveme's products are mainly designed to meet the needs of Chinese and Asian component manufacturers, the final trade of domestic products is mostly sold to overseas countries such as Europe and the United States. Therefore, the company is also actively monitoring the potential impact of this “double-reverse” investigation.
“In 2013, the export volume of China's PV modules was about 16 GW, and the export volume was about US$10 billion, down 27% year-on-year. Among them, the export share to the US market accounted for about 10%. Therefore, this time's double anti- The impact is not great." Meng Xianyu told reporters. After all, there is food in hand, and the heart is not panic. Compared with before, domestic PV companies have calmed down a lot.
At present, the export of China's PV products to Europe and the United States has been greatly reduced, and the focus of the global PV market has shifted from Europe and the United States to emerging markets. Among them, the share of exports to Europe fell from nearly 65% ​​in 2012 to 30% in 2013. In emerging markets, Japan topped the list in 2013, becoming the largest exporter of PV products in China, with exports of approximately US$2.2 billion, accounting for 22% of total exports; exports to India and South Africa accounting for 5.2%, respectively. 4.5%.
At the same time, the domestic market, which is gradually being launched, has also given a reassurance to most PV companies.
Take Jingao Solar as an example. The company's three quarterly report last year showed that its business focus is gradually shifting to the Asian market, with China and Japan accounting for 39% and 35% respectively, while non-Asian shipments fell to 22%. .
After experiencing a continuous low, the domestic PV market has grown rapidly since last year. Last year, China became the world's largest PV market, and the new PV installed capacity also set a new record. According to the plan of the National Energy Administration, the annual new construction scale of photovoltaic power generation in 2014 was 14 million kilowatts.
"This means that the installed capacity of photovoltaic power generation will increase by nearly 24% year-on-year this year, exceeding market expectations." Zhengxin Photovoltaic Electronics Co., Ltd. told reporters that this shows the country's strong support for the photovoltaic industry, "the country gave us more With more opportunities for competition, I believe we will be able to stand out from the competition and our business volume will continue to grow."
"In the face of trade wars, in addition to firmly opposing unfair trade protectionism, we should further promote the diversification of export markets and actively explore the domestic market." Meng Xianyu stressed.
