It’s pretty obvious the tariffs didn’t work, what seems to have happened it increased costs of panels, but also the cost of BOM items like the steel used in roof standoffs and racking made in other countries. Even with tariffs, Chinese panels are still the cheapest panels per watt retail in the U.S.. If one looks at what (has) happened, the two solar PV manufacturers in the U.S. that pushed for tariff protection are bankrupt. There were probably some 1,000 people that lost jobs in these manufacturing plants and yet, 62,000 solar PV installers and ancillary workforce personnel lost their jobs to protectionism that really didn’t work. China can still dump solar PV panels in America at $0.70/watt retail with tariffs, still cheaper than the $0.89 to $1.15/watt retail of U.S. made panels. Reviving manufacturing in China, not necessarily the U.S..

“The clean energy industry and its partners remain committed to long-term policies that can boost domestic manufacturing, such as increased federal procurement opportunities for U.S. equipment manufacturers and tax credits to help incentivize private sector investments in domestic manufacturing.”

You want the “private sector” to invest in domestic manufacturing, you will have to grow the business and keep costs lower or as low as the Chinese manufacturing equivalent. Using solar PV and wind generation to manufacture products would set the stage to go head to head with China’s 2025 policy and goal. The U.S. sorely needs a large battery manufacturing base with its own supply chain that doesn’t depend on another country’s materials and manufacturing to meet American needs. If one switches from oil and OPEC, it would be the same thing getting caught up with battery cells and packs being sourced outside the U.S. boarders. Any time someone does this, they risk the security of the nation to the suppliers of that nation.
