"The US has proposed higher and more extensive tariffs on Chinese solar panels. The Department of Commerce said it plans to impose duties of between 18.56% to 35.21%."
This is astoundingly close to Donald Trumps "Tax Chinese 25%" and is without doubt, anti-competition protectionist policy, and not free market at all.
What it means for consumers in North America - higher prices. What it means for North american producers of solar panels, it will give them a subsidized dollar advantage.
