30 Day Campaign to Attack the Solar Tariff

Projections show decreases in solar installations and job growth for the next four years because of the #TrumpTariffs. The good news is: the solar industry thrives at squashing projections, and we at Solar Builder would like to help in that effort and Attack the Tariff! Starting June 4, Solar Builder is teaming with several sponsors to share 30 ideas (large and small) over 30 days for solar industry contractors, EPCs and developers to improve solar project economics and reduce costs — and counter the 30 percent tariff. Come back to this page or watch your email inbox each day for a new tip, idea, best practice, financial concept, product solution, etc., that will address PV system installation, development, logistics and soft costs — everything beyond the price of modules.
