Recently, Energysage in SPI released the semi-annual ' Solarmarketplaceintelreport ' report.
By analyzing millions of data from July 2017 to June 2018, the report provides a unique perspective on the impact of the 201 bill on solar tariffs for U.S. households.
At the end of September 2017, the United States International Trade Commission (International Commission) believed that U.S. PV module manufacturers were damaged shortly after Energysage found that the price of household solar energy in the market began to soar.
Although prices have now started to fall back, they have fallen more slowly than before.
The consequence of this is that the installation of PV now is 5.6% higher than the cost of the original speed drop.
This means that for average users, the equivalent of $0.16 per watt or, in other words, a standard 6KW PV system costs $960 more.
The price of photovoltaic products in the United States rose after September 2017, and tariffs actually brought us consumers $236.5 million in taxes.
"Tariffs add to the burden on the industry, forcing them to fight costs over the long term," said Bloomberg's new energy analyst.
Several other important points in the report are as follows:
PV costs have fallen across the United States but have risen in many of the better-developed States.
Although the cost of PV in the United States has fallen to $3.12/W, prices have risen in several major solar states such as Arizona, State, Florida State and North Carolina State.
Panasonic and LG components are the most popular
In Energysage's data, Panasonic and LG accounted for 46% of the market share in the first half of 2018 years.
Japanese and Korean manufacturers have overcome the barriers caused by solar tariffs, with high quality and high brand awareness, gaining greater market share.
Photovoltaic consumers are interested in energy storage
70% of PV Consumers said they were interested in installing a home energy storage system while installing photovoltaic equipment. "Any trade restrictions imposed on the photovoltaic industry will hurt US consumers and American workers," Energysage's chief executive said.
'
However, despite these recent hurdles, the household PV industry is expected to achieve significant growth over the next few years.
Consumers ' interest in PV + storage has soared, coupled with falling prices, easing the effects of tariffs.
As shown in the report, Energysage that the U.S. PV market will continue to grow. US ' 201 ' tariff leads to higher PV cost per watt $0.16
