Runergy is largely a Chinese solar cell manufacturer with 57 GW of production capacity.”

Here is where Government policies and “guidance documents” can make or break manufacturing in the U.S.. Runergy, Chinese based and the overarching question is where does the supply chain come from, China? The latest AD/CVD determinations published right here on this site puts a focus on the many supply chains feeding American manufacturing. Runergy could find it will fail, due to the supply chain of solar PV cells, assembly materials like aluminum frames, glass, panel backing materials and sealants used to make solar PV panels. This begs the question will these new tariff changes affect already in place Chinese manufacturing entities in the U.S., like JinkoSolar and JA Solar? This new tariff guidance will certainly change the 45X subsidy infrastructure.
