US tariffs on Chinese solar products

The US will put new tariffs and price floors on imported polysilicon and solar panels from December, aimed mainly at Chinese supply, and has moved to stop importers stockpiling ahead of them. Hanwha Solutions and OCI Holdings make solar products inside the US, so the protection favours them over other Korean companies.
