At Solar Energy Services in Millersville, Maryland, a single stack of solar panels sits on the floor of a warehouse. Engineer Rick Peters says he got them cheap because the manufacturer folded. They just couldn't compete. He says mostly he buys Chinese panels. "Probably about 70% of what we install is Chinese panels." Peters says some homeowners do like to buy American, but most want the best price. And Chinese panels are about 10% cheaper. A tariff could double their price, and Peters says that could push everyone's prices up. "I'm very concerned about that. I think that it could significantly increase the price, because of the limited number of manufacturers in the U.S. And potentially, they could take advantage of the marketplace." Raise their prices, as well? "Absolutely." Peters says that could have ripple effects for other U.S. manufacturers. He illustrates by cutting open a big box on the floor of the warehouse. Inside is an inverter, a device that every solar installation needs to convert direct current to the alternating current in your home. It costs about $4,500. "This one is made by PV Powered, which is a U.S. manufacturer. A lot of the inverters are manufactured in the U.S." Less installation means fewer inverters sold. Over the next several months, the federal government will decide whether China is playing fair or not.
