Small-scale solar panels about the size of a door are poised to be plugged into more U.S. homes and apartments as homeowners and renters who want to harness the sun’s energy look for cheaper alternatives to rooftop installations.
Yup, got ripped off hard. Are there import restrictions in the US that prevent people from buying dirrctly from china? Because most likely this 2000$ one is just a rebranded kit from China anyway.
The US Commerce Department has announced plans to impose tariffs of up to 3,521% on imports of solar panels from four South East Asian countries.
It comes after an investigation that began a year ago when several major solar equipment producers asked the administration of then-President Joe Biden to protect their US operations.
Thats exactly whats being described here tho…
The price threw me, it’s just unbelievable that it’s that expensive for a battery-less 400 watt system. This moron got taken.

Tariffs, of course. Trump is doing the fossil fuel industry’s bidding trying to kill all renewables.
Sure but even with 100% tariffs it would still be cheaper to import.
@unexposedhazard @roofuskit @technology I believe the tariffs on solar panels are 2000+%.
We are the first victims of American Imperialism.
I mean …. The first?
