Technical FAQs 4

How will Section 301 tariffs affect Bess batteries?

The biggest impact comes from Section 301 tariffs, which add 25% to the cost of many battery components. Here’s the rundown: As of March 22, 2025, BESS manufactured in China and shipped to the U.S. faces a tariff rate that’s already a bit of a gut punch.

What are battery storage system tax credits?

Among the many provisions of the IRA, the introduction of battery storage system tax credits stands out as a major incentive for individuals and businesses looking to invest in energy storage solutions. These battery storage system tax credits aim to accelerate the adoption of energy storage technologies.

Are Chinese tariffs affecting battery energy storage systems?

If you’re in the business of battery energy storage systems (BESS), you’ve probably felt the squeeze of tariffs on Chinese imports. For years, China has been a go-to for affordable, high-capacity energy storage solutions, but ongoing trade policies and tariffs have made importing these systems into the U.S. more complicated — and expensive.

How will tariff chaos affect the stationary battery energy storage industry?

Tariff chaos reigns supreme in the development of the US stationary battery energy storage industry.
