South Africa imposed a 10 percent general import duty on solar panels to protect the country's only remaining producer from low-priced imports, mostly from China. The duty is expected to equalize the cost between local and imported solar panels for large commercial projects. Chinese producers of solar panels have the advantage of export subsidies.
