You’ve probably heard that iPhones and laptops are no longer subject to the higher tariffs, but the list is far longer than the mainstream media reports will tell you. It also includes other computers, routers, monitors, microprocessors and memory chips, LEDs and solar cells. Yes, solar cells, whether in panels or not, and “other photovoltaic devices” are now exempt.
It doesn’t appear batteries are exempt, which could be bad news for whole-house backup batteries and solar generators. If you are looking to buy an EcoFlow, Bluetti, Jackery or similar solar generator, try to get them before the prices rise.
