Securing Our Solar Future: How Clean Energy Can Be the Most Cybersecure, Reliable Technology on the Grid
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security defines the power grid as critical infrastructure, but the grid was not built to support the current complex and interconnected structure that it has become, making it vulnerable to potential cyber-threats. As solar and storage technologies are deployed in record-breaking numbers, it’s important for the industry to prioritize cybersecurity to ensure clean energy resources are the safest and most secure technologies on the grid.
SEIA Urges Biden Administration to Phase Out Section 201 Tariffs
WASHINGTON D.C. — In a prehearing brief filed with the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) urged the Biden Administration to phase out the Section 201 global safeguard tariffs on imported solar cells and modules.
U.S. Solar Industry Rebukes Shadow Group’s Tariff Petition
WASHINGTON, D.C. — In response to an anonymous petition for circumvention tariffs on solar imports from Southeast Asia, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), the national trade group for the U.S. solar and storage industry, sent a letter to U.S. Department of Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo to refute the credibility of this baseless case.
Circumvention Petitions: Full of Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing
A group of anonymous companies that are trying to consolidate and limit the U.S. market for solar panels has made false allegations against the Solar Energy Industries Association in their petitions to get the Commerce Department to open an investigation into circumvention of anti-dumping/countervailing duties.
SEIA Response to Anonymous AD/CVD Petitioners
Following an October 13, 2021 letter filed by a group of anonymous petitioners regarding anti-dumping/countervailing duties (AD/CVD) on solar imports from Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, SEIA sent a letter to U.S. Secretary of Commerce Gina Raimondo, articulating the industry's opposition to the baseless tariffs and responding to the petitioners' attacks on SEIA and the U.S. solar industry.
SEIA Outlines Critical Reforms to Transmission System in FERC ANOPR Comments
WASHINGTON D.C. — The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) submitted comments this week in response to a July Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANOPR) issued by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) on transmission reforms and new interconnection rules. The ANOPR presents an opportunity to address several transmission, interconnection and cost allocation issues, clearing the way for more equitable market access for solar and energy storage.

30% by 2030: A New Target for the Solar+ Decade
In 2019, SEIA laid out a vision for the 2020s in our Roadmap for the Solar+ Decade. In that roadmap, we set a target for solar energy to reach 20% of generation by 2030 as the U.S. transforms the electric grid and builds a robust clean energy economy.
Anonymous Solar Tariff Petitions Threaten the American Solar Economy
On August 16, an anonymous group of companies filed tariff circumvention petitions with the U.S. Department of Commerce. If allowed to proceed, these anonymous petitions would cripple the U.S. solar industry and ruin America’s plans to tackle climate change. The U.S. Department of Commerce must exercise its authority to reject these petitions.
