增加美国以外制造的太阳能电池板的新进口税将为位于美国的外国太阳能公司带来优势。 目前已经有几家中国公司在这里制造太阳能电池板，此法的颁布给他们带来了优势。

President Trump announced on Monday afternoon that the US will put 30% tariffs on foreign-made solar panels this year in a landmark trade decision that has sent shockwaves across the US solar industry.

The move aims to help American-based solar manufacturers losing business to the flood of cheap solar panels coming out of China and elsewhere, according to the Trump administration. Trump officials also recently announced new tariffs on imported washing machines.
