Technical FAQs 4

How will tariffs affect solar panels & inverters in 2025?

In summary, as of April 2025 we see solar panel prices up by 20–40% (depending on origin), inverters up ~10–30%, and battery costs up significantly (~30% or more) compared to pre-tariff levels. These increases correlate directly with the reciprocal tariff rates imposed (34% on China, 36–49% on SE Asia, etc.), underlining the tariffs’ impact.

What is the new tariff policy for inverters?

Under the new policy, all imports face at least 10% tariff, and specific countries face more – China-made inverters now see ~34% tariff, European inverters ~20%, South Korea 25%, etc.

How will the 301 tariff affect the US solar supply chain?

Notably, the adjusted 301 tariff expands to cover Chinese exports of polysilicon and mono-Si wafers, with a 50% tariff rate set to take effect on January 1, 2025. This move is expected to affect the upstream sector in the US PV supply chain. The U.S. had imposed several trade barriers against Chinese solar cell and module imports.

How will Section 301 tariffs affect Bess batteries?

The biggest impact comes from Section 301 tariffs, which add 25% to the cost of many battery components. Here’s the rundown: As of March 22, 2025, BESS manufactured in China and shipped to the U.S. faces a tariff rate that’s already a bit of a gut punch.
