I have a full 35 panel pallet on hand & 39.6KWH of battery & inverter due Wednesday. Let the price increase begin, I'm covered (for a change).

Where did you see this?
Trade act of 1974?
Solar panels weren’t even a thing yet much less China making them.

New Tariffs in the States
Seems like there will be new tariffs on solar panels and batteries (and EVs, semiconductors and medical supplies) from China coming to the States. https://www.reuters.com/business/us-set-impose-tariffs-china-evs-certain-strategic-sectors-bloomberg-reports-2024-05-10/...

Yes, but nobody can predict how much prices will go up.

SIg Sol marketing emails. i've been eyeing for a while but, i'm probably not equipped to make proper purchasing decision yet, unless higher wattage panels are better as flat rule. starts to evoke FOMO.
i googled the section 301 and there some PDFs that pop up but, know the context or where to start reading let alone under the legalese.

From the White House:

The Trade Act of 1974 was passed by Congress in 1974 and it is renewed continuously. It basically gives the president authority to set tariffs and negotiate trade agreements. All presidents since 1974 have used it.
The proposed tariff on solar cells only applies if it originates in China. There are many manufacturers located elsewhere, such as Cambodia, Taiwan, Philippines, Canada, Mexico, Germany, South Korea, Brazil, India, Japan.

The end result of tariffs is that it hurts smaller companies and helps build monopolies.
Prices go up, sales drop, prices drop to move product. Smaller companies can't eat the loss like big companies can and go under.

well i saw a video from louis rossmann he paid a lawyer to look at the tariff situation dues to issues getting microscopes in. it required filling out some forums in such a tight time frame that it would require teleporting the forums to the required office. or some how knowing the needed information before public release. some how wal-mart and amazon had no issues importing microscopes.
