"The Trump Administration's decision to impose tariffs and quotas on solar panels is a setback for clean energy and jobs in frontline communities. Declining solar costs have been critical to the growth of solar as a tool for states, cities and utilities to provide energy bill assistance to low-income customers, and the growing industry has created tens of thousands of good jobs. Solar jobs are accessible to people with no advanced degrees, creating pathways out of poverty in some of our most disadvantaged communities. The tariffs announced today, while not as severe as they could have been, will likely dampen job growth and make it harder for families to get relief from high energy costs. GRID Alternatives is committed to continuing our important work toward a transition to clean energy that includes everyone, and will work with our government, industry and community partners to minimize the impact of the tariffs."
