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.
Solar panels got tariffed by Biden a couple month before trump took office.
I believe it was because they determined that Vietnam was dumping panels at below cost, which is deemed an unfair trade practice. I noticed this because I preemptively bought a couple panels before trump was inaugurated, and like a week after I did, the tariff was announced.
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.
