For Now, Solar Tariffs Are Right On Time!

Pre-Tariffs Pricing + Tax Credit =😀

1) “GTM Research predicts that the price of solar panels will rise by 10 cents a watt on average in the first year of the tariff”. This takes us through early 2019.

2) “U.S. solar industry is expected to see a net reduction in installations of 11 percent this year”.

3) Local Bay Area Installers have already begun to raise Cost of going solar!

HERE IS THE GOOD NEWS…if you time your project just right, you can have it all – the full 30% tax credit and 0% tariffs.

On February 7th, 2018 is when the tariffs took effect. Installers were aware ahead of time that solar tariffs would be implemented. Some installers stockpiled short supply of lower costing supply of panels at a bulk rate. This was prior to enforcement of the Trump tariffs.

The month of March is historically, a great month for solar anyway.
