Just ordered a panel on Wed and looks like Renogy just increased prices by 10%.

Smoke I think you are right on.  The German Solar World plant close to me expects to add 300-500 people to their work force and I do not know about Suniva, the Chinese Company.  But the projection for solar installers and other associated business is a loss of 26,000 jobs as a result of this tariff.  It means it is not a job plan but more of a forced cost increase to compete with fossil fuels.  It is not a surprise that cost increases have already started even though companies have pre-tariff stock.  By raising the price 10% now they can somewhat soften the blow from what would have been a larger (30%) increase down the road.

Also another blow to the home solar industry is,there isn't a Fed tax credit as of 2018.

We just got in under the end.We added another 1800w to our 1800w we have had for 9 years.

We'll see where it all goes.

Can't wait to see all those smoke stacks just shooting all that nice black smoke into the sky again (as they burn all those solar panels)!   Guess all we can do is keep writing those letters, attending meetings and sending emails and of course VOTE.

And install solar at your home which is what I did 4 years ago and never looked back. Grid tied with no electric bill.  Ron

On-line price for Solar Cynergy 120 W bendable solar panels from Solar Blvd went from $119 yesterday to $129 today. 

 

Roughly a 10% increase.  They showed 74 panels in stock yesterday and now show 72 panels in stock.

Solar Blvd regularly bounces back and forth on their prices....just call them and ask when the panel you want will go back on sale.

Good price!  I think this is because they are not the bleeding edge any more.  Most watts per panel (sq ft) nets the premium prices.

That Rec solar panel are the same ones we have been using for 9 years on our house 1800w system.

They seem very reliable.
