The Situation
There’s a lot happening in the solar industry right now. With the possibility of new tariffs on imported goods and a potential removal or decrease in clean energy incentives, experts are reporting that we could see prices on solar products easily increase by up to 25% starting early next year. These changes, part of a broader plan for America’s manufacturing future, will have an impact on the entire supply chain—from manufacturers to retailers and, ultimately, to consumers.
What Does This Mean for You?
The good news? The long-term goal of these tariffs is to strengthen America’s manufacturing base, creating jobs and fostering innovation right here at home. This is a step toward greater independence and economic strength. But in the short term, these changes will drive up the cost of imported solar products. Tariffs and policy shifts, while important for long-term gains, can and will create temporary price increases that ripple through the supply chain. Major industry players—manufacturers, distributors, and retailers like us—are working to absorb as much of these costs as possible. However, some of these increases will inevitably be passed on to consumers.
Why Act Now?
We’re making some necessary adjustments to ensure we stay ahead of these changes. Starting January 31st, 2025 , prices will increase anywhere from 1-10% across different product lines. These adjustments are necessary to prepare for:
- Potential Tariffs: Upcoming policy changes that could increase costs on imported goods by up to 25%.
- Inflation: Rising operational and supply chain costs affecting the entire industry.
- America First: We are aligning with efforts to support American manufacturing and reduce reliance on imports, which comes with added investment in sourcing and logistics.
The next few weeks are a critical window for anyone considering solar. By locking in today’s prices, you can avoid the price increases coming January 31st, 2025.
