Tariffs on solar

President Trump imposed a tariff on imported solar panels that he says will protect U.S. jobs and manufacturing. But Brooklyn Solarworks is among those companies that fear it will have the opposite effect. Brooklyn Solarworks imports solar panels from South Korea. The majority of installation companies source panels from Asia. Trump's tariff rule imposes a 30-percent tax on imported panels in the first year, which gradually falls to 15 percent and then phases out over four years.
