The Commerce Department stated that last year the U.S. purchased $3.1 billion of Chinese solar cells. The total represents more than half of the American market.

(NYSE: YGE).

The tariffs, which are retroactive 90 days, are on top of anti-subsidy tariffs of 2.9 to 4.73 percent imposed in March. According to research by Paula Mints, analyst at Navigant Consulting, last year Chinese manufacturers shipped roughly 50 percent of the world's solar panels, whereas U.S. manufacturers shipped only 3 percent. The 31 percent tariff was calculated by the Commerce Department by estimating the cost for Chinese manufacturers, and then calculating how far below cost were manufacturers selling the solar panels for in the U.S.
