THE WELSH NOT HISTORY
The Welsh Not History: From the 19th century until the beginning of the 20th century, the Welsh school system under English command punished those children who were detected speaking Welsh, since the language imposed and permitted was English. The punishment consisted of placing a wooden sign with the letters WN (No to the Welsh language), at the chest height of the child to be humiliated or punished.
Although most nations are working to increase the use of renewable energy such as solar and promote global sustainability agreements, some still impose very high tariffs (a WN sign) when importing solar panels, which makes solar adoption much more expensive. The highest tariffs apply to products from countries that can produce them more efficiently and at competitive prices. This can limit the availability of affordable technology in countries and communities seeking to adopt renewable energy and reduce their carbon footprint, and result in a "plug one hole by another" effect, in which solutions offered to consumers, are neither efficient nor profitable in the long term, decreasing the possibility to achieve sustainability more quickly.
All unnatural, tax, retaliatory, and punitive policies generate distortions, inefficiencies, costs, reparations, injustice, and decreases. Trading authorities should look for decisions that make business fluid and "natural". Adopting open, transparent, and inclusive trade policies will reduce the costs of solar energy systems, the deployment of this technology, and the creation of employment in the sector. Trade policies should reduce or eliminate tariffs on solar products, which act as a hidden tax for end consumers.
Tariffs range, on average, between 2.2% applied to solar cells and 10% for panels with much bigger percentages in the U.S. Tariff reduction initiatives should be complemented with measures to remove the broader technological, economic, and regulatory obstacles that hinder the deployment of solar technology in countries that are least efficient at manufacturing them.
This is where you can enjoy the benefits of our Integration Coefficient IC solutions vs High Tariffs. By integrating factories to create and offer solar kits to installers and reaping the benefits of reduced HS codes, some penalties (same as the "WN" sign) imposed by countries trying to “protect” their manufacturers can be avoided. This can help speed up the adoption of solar power and other renewable energy systems by making solutions more accessible. Rather than forcing inadequate solutions on the customer, as in the case of the "Welsh Not", the IC model can provide a more efficient and sustainable solution for the renewable energy supply chain.
The Integration Coefficient IC guides every step we take. Together, we can build a sustainable and efficient solar business model. Let's talk.
