Trump's Solar Tariffs Mark Biggest Blow to Renewables Yet

'The Solar Energy Industries Association has projected 23,000 job losses this year in a sector that employed 260,000. '

'President Donald Trump just dealt his biggest blow to the renewable energy industry yet. '

'The duties won’t be entirely devastating for the U.S. solar industry, said Hugh Bromley, a New York-based analyst at Bloomberg New Energy Finance. '

'Suniva had sought import duties of 32 cents a watt for solar panels produced outside the U.S. and a floor price of 74 cents a watt. '

'Just the mere threat of tariffs has shaken solar developers in recent months, with some hoarding panels and others stalling projects in anticipation of higher costs. '

Yeah. In the short term. It’s like 30% this year and tapers off to something like 15% over 4 years iirc. Overall this is a good thing. Idk why solar panels and washing machines was chose as the very first things to tariff, but this shows that making America great again is NOT just a slogan.

The tariff is 30% or it will raise the price 30%?

The tariff for importation is 30%. Whether or not (more then likely) the manufacturer rolls this 30% price increase on to the consumer is up to them. But more importantly it’s up to YOU to make the right decision and purchase goods and services made in the USA.
