The Sheisters are out, they cannot read the docs posted on WH & Revenue and are making hooey Frea Mongering statements. THAT is the RED FLAG to not do business with Chicken Littles clucking about something they do not grasp.I just got this text alert
With all those tariff % changes, I feel math challenged. What overall % increase does this mean to the end customer?The tariff rate on solar cells (whether or not assembled into modules) will increase from 25% to 50% in 2024.
The tariff rate on lithium-ion EV batteries will increase from 7.5%% to 25% in 2024, while the tariff rate on lithium-ion non-EV batteries will increase from 7.5% to 25% in 2026. The tariff rate on battery parts will increase from 7.5% to 25% in 2024.
The tariff rate on semiconductors will increase from 25% to 50% by 2025.
No, just using "new" math (or maybe it's marketing math). The tariffs on PV cells is set to double, but they word it to imply that the price of panels will double.Prices double? They are math challenged.

It seems like the Chinese are already moving manufacturing to the USA to get around the Tariffs.
Without competition, where is the incentive to improve your product or pricing? Competition benefits the consumer, not the manufacturer who continues to hide behind the tariffs and delay the steps necessary to improve their product/price.Consumers win when there is competition
I guess I should have been able to figure that out myself.Stated 25% increase.
$100 panel will increase to $125
Consumers win when there is competition, so I say good on the Chinese for avoiding these tax hikes, and bringing jobs and competition to the US
Actually:Stated 25% increase.
$100 panel will increase to $125
But but but but DOUBLEZZ tey said!!?!!?Actually:
$80 + 25% = $100 (current)
$80 + 50% = $120 (increase)
Sounds like a contradiction to me. What products are made cheaper here? How does the consumer win?
They are designed to raise prices such that American companies can compete.
But we can never really compete when workers here want $15 hr and 15 minute breaks every hour. We could probably put a 100% tariff on them and panels will still be cheaper coming from China or wherever labor is cheap. Keep in mind the costs here for building the factories too.
When have you seen logic and politics align?
