On September 22, 2026, the US Commerce Department introduced an anti-stockpiling rule covering imports of polysilicon, ingots, wafers, cells, and modules ahead of new Minimum Import Price requirements and tariffs. The rule could restrict near-term shipments and disrupt US solar supply through December 4.

PV Tech: New solar factories face elevated quality risks during ramp-up as new staff, equipment, and production pressure increase defects. Intertek CEA’s Jordan Wilson explains how early audits and production monitoring can help buyers manage these risks.

Huatian Xu explains how Intertek CEA will continue testing and monitoring PV modules independently through its own R&D program following the conclusion of the pv magazine test program earlier this year.

In this webinar, Intertek CEA's Joseph C. Johnson and Christian Roselund break down the market impacts of Section 232.

The quarterly Energy Storage STPR delivers global and regional supply chain analysis, technology trends, and policy insights, and this quarter focuses on cell product roadmaps toward larger form-factor cells and the emerging role of alternative technologies for UPS applications in the expanding data center market.

The quarterly published PV STPR covers global and regional supply chain analysis, technology trends, and regional policy analysis.

The PV Price Forecasting Report provides independent market intelligence on changes in global supply chains and accurate forecasts for supply price scenarios based on technologies, materials, manufacturing regions and target markets, as well as supply and demand forecasts and analysis.

The latest Energy Storage System (ESS) Supplier Market Intelligence Report includes concise and standardized analyses of major LIB cell suppliers and BESS integrators, focusing on global production capacities, product portfolios, and notable projects.

pv magazine: Claire Kearns-McCoy and Michael Scott of Intertek CEA report a rise in junction box failures across utility-scale and rooftop solar sites and explain why the only reliable window to catch these problems closes as soon as the potting compound cures.

PV Tech: FEOC compliance can break down after contracts are signed as supplier ownership, IP licensing, or component changes affect tax-credit eligibility. Intertek CEA’s Jordan Wilson recommends ongoing monitoring, audits, bill-of-material controls, and contractual protections to manage risk through project completion.

pv magazine: PV projects increasingly face financing and execution risk from documentation gaps. Intertek CEA COO Jeffrey Burkett sees technically sound, commercially viable projects struggle to close financing because critical proof was not built up along the way.

The ESS Price Forecasting Report provides an in-depth five-year forecast for the price of a DC battery container, including battery cells, modules, racking, and additional balance of system needed for a containerized battery system.

Junction box failures are rising across utility-scale solar. Intertek CEA experts reveal common defects, inspection gaps, and how to prevent safety, production, and warranty risks.

The PV SMIP provides a comprehensive and unbiased analysis of the top PV module manufacturers in the world. It offers detailed insights into capacities, technology, and efficiency roadmaps, along with Manufacturing, Capacity, and Technology (MCT) ratings for each supplier.

On July 28, 2026, the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) restricted new foreign-made connected inverters unless they receive Conditional Approval. Unclear implementation could disrupt US solar and energy storage supply.

Energy Storage News: Rising demand for energy storage in the US does not yet have a domestic supply chain to meet it.

In this Energy Storage News webinar, Intertek CEA experts Paul Wormser and Dan Finn-Foley examine how FEOC requirements are reshaping ESS procurement in the United States.
