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.

    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.

        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.

        Lmao you are right
