FAQS 4

Will tariffs on imports affect solar energy development?

Tariffs on imports will increase the cost of US solar PV and energy storage technologies and slow the rate of project development, according to analysis from research firm Wood Mackenzie.

How are Trump tariffs affecting solar energy projects?

The tariffs implemented by the Trump administration in 2025 have significantly impacted utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects in the United States. Solar Energy Projects: The tariffs have led to increased costs for imported solar panels and components, which are predominantly sourced from Southeast Asia.

Will steel tariffs increase solar PV costs?

However, levies on steel imports have been imposed. Tariff costs are almost always paid by importers and passed on to buyers and end consumers through higher prices. Woodmac said that the current tariff regime would “significantly” increase costs in the US solar PV market.

Are US solar panels at risk from China's tariffs?

US-manufactured solar panels, which use upstream material from China, might see the largest cost increases given the steeper duty rates and a lack of supply chain outside of China. Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) are at even higher risk of substantial price increases due to tariffs, given China’s control over the BESS supply chain.
