Solar panels are also produced in USA. The producers might increase their prices but so might oil/gas/other energy companies.

Last I looked 100% of the US manufacturers were assembling panels with silicon from China.

Maybe some domestic monocrystalline wafer production has come online recently? Curious if anyone has updated info.

Poor wording on my part. I was only looking at residential panels, hence the note about Si wafers.
