In 2018, a tariff was placed on all imported Chinese photovoltaic cells (this includes solar panels) into the United States as a result of a claimed unfair competition with China. This is an example of a potential trade barrier, since importers must be aware of AD/CVD when deciding where to make their purchase.
Here’s a closer look at the key CBP regulations governing the import of solar panels: Harmonized Tariff Schedule (HTS) Classification: All solar panels must be correctly classified under the HTS to determine applicable tariffs and duties. Country of Origin Marking: The goods must be marked with their country of origin.
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.
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.
Our standardized container products are engineered for reliability, safety, and easy deployment. All systems include comprehensive monitoring and control systems with remote management capabilities.
