Trump tariff on imported solar panels at 30% – residential projects could increase $750-1000, cost up to 23,000 jobs
The Trump administration released its official ruling regarding the Suniva Section 201 case, and stated that they agree that the nation’s solar industry has taken damage as a result of global solar actions.
The administration has chosen to impose a 30% tariff on all imported solar cells and solar panels, decreasing 5% a year for four years. The first 2.5GW of solar cells imported will not be tariffed, to protect the domestic solar panel industry.
The tariffs are far below what Suniva and SolarWorld requested.
