A new analysis reveals how the Trump administration’s recently imposed solar tariffs could hinder installations at the state level.
The tariffs are predicted to reduce the projected pipeline of new solar construction in the U.S. by 7.6 gigawatts over the next five years, according to GTM Research. Some states will get hit harder than others.
