The Solar Tariff Crisis: Why Now is the Best Time to Go Solar

If you want the maximum federal incentives, it’s a great idea to act sooner rather than later!

The U.S. solar industry is facing new challenges with upcoming tariffs and policy changes that could lead to higher costs and delays for solar projects. Under the Biden administration last year, new rules tightened imports, especially on solar products, which have the potential to drive up prices. Additionally, steep tariffs were applied to Chinese-made solar panels starting June 2024, which caused significant disruptions in supply chains and further increased costs for U.S. solar projects. On top of this, manufacturers are holding back inventory in anticipation of these tax hikes, creating shortages and delays.

This year, the potential actions of a second-term Trump administration could bring even steeper tariffs. Trump’s proposed tariffs on solar panels have already shown the potential to disrupt the market, which could lead to additional price increases for solar products.

Now is the best time to switch to solar. By acting today, you’ll be taking advantage of the best pricing and incentives available. With tax incentives still available and supply chains in flux, don’t wait—take advantage of the benefits of solar today and protect yourself from future price hikes.
