BEIJING (China Daily/Asia News Network): An extension of solar tariffs by the United States will have a limited impact on China's photovoltaic manufacturers, but will disturb the new energy trading order as well as global efforts to cope with climate change, analysts said.

Tariffs on solar products are expected to do little to boost the US solar product manufacturing sector, said Jiang Yali, a solar analyst at BloombergNEF.
