Abstract

We present a framework (TIT-4-TAT) that enables the study of manufacturing strategies by coupling a technoeconomic model with tariff and transportation algorithms to optimize supply chain layouts for PV manufacturing. We use this framework in a scenario where Mexico, China, USA, and Brazil interact under two tariffs scenarios. The optimal manufacturing locations due to tariff levels variations are highlighted through this approach.
