Mr Kriengkrai stressed the need for the government to come up with plans to support Thai companies to enable them to produce and export solar panels. The federation is worried Thailand may be affected by trade barriers imposed by the US, which wants to promote the use of its locally made products. They make up 80% of solar panel products imported to the US.Īccording to the FTI, there are around 10 solar panel manufacturers in Thailand, mostly from China and Taiwan.Ĭhinese companies reportedly relocated their production facilities to Thailand to avoid the impact of the US-China trade war. Solar panel imports from Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam currently account for more than half of solar panel products in the US.

“The tariff exemption will be good for Thailand, at least in the short term,” said Kriengkrai Thiennukul, chairman of the FTI. The move came after US authorities said in March they would probe whether solar cells and modules produced in these countries, using parts and components from China and exported to the US, were circumventing anti-dumping and countervailing duty orders on solar cells and modules from the Chinese mainland. Last week the Biden administration announced a two-year pause on imposing any new tariffs on such products made in Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia and Vietnam.
