With that, utility-scale solar has represented about two-thirds of the market over the last few years, says the Solar Energy Industries Association. Santa Barbara-based Wiser Capital has said that 83% of the small-to-mid-size company managers that it surveyed will be investing in solar energy projects by 2020. What the tariffs will do is to raise solar energy prices on those entities that buy and deploy the technologies. The Solar Energy Industries Association estimates that the increases will cost 23,000 jobs while GTM Research says the industry will see solar projects reduced by 11% as a result. And that will eventually trump the current obstacles that are obstructing the path of the solar energy sector.
