There are moments in politics that could change things. I have long been pushing for the settlement of the tariffs on modules made in China (and Taiwan, etc) to no avail. Mostly because the $0.15/Watt are just a part of life now and manufacturers have made other accommodations to deal with the tariffs. Now the cells for the SolarCity factory, which is in Buffalo (that is in America!), look like they will be hit with tariffs as well. I still see a way forward to get rid of them but we need the political will to push for it. If $0.15/Watt reduction in your module costs are worthy of your time and phone calls, send me a note so we can organize around this and garner the political will.
