Over the past few years, the solar industry has seen major growth worldwide — and with that growth comes changes in global pricing structures. One of the biggest updates affecting the renewable energy market right now is the cancellation of export rebates, which will soon have a direct impact on the cost of importing key solar components.
At B-Energy, we believe in being transparent with our customers, and we want to make sure everyone understands what’s happening, why prices are changing, and what we’re doing to stay ahead.
What Is Happening? Export Rebates Are Being Cancelled
Many solar manufacturers and exporting countries have historically offered export rebates. These rebates reduced costs for international buyers by offsetting part of the manufacturing or export tax burden.
Now, with the cancellation of these export rebate programs, suppliers will no longer receive those financial offsets — meaning the cost of solar products exported internationally will rise.
In simple terms:
✅ Export rebates kept pricing lower
❌ Export rebate cancellation means higher supplier pricing
➡️ Higher supplier pricing means higher import costs for solar companies like ours
How This Will Affect Solar Imports
This change will impact a wide range of solar products, including:
- Complete solar systems
- Solar panels
- Inverters
- Lithium battery storage systems
- Mounting systems
- Solar carports
- Electrical accessories and components
Because these items are heavily dependent on international supply chains, the rebate cancellation will raise the base cost of production and export — and that increase will be reflected in landed import pricing.
What This Means for Customers
The most important takeaway is this:
Prices are expected to increase soon.
While we are still finalizing exact numbers with suppliers and shipping partners, the market is already showing signs of adjustment. Many manufacturers have begun updating their pricing models, and several distributors are preparing for increases across the board.
If you are considering:
- installing solar at your home or business
- upgrading your battery storage
- investing in a solar carport solution
- expanding an existing solar setup
…this may be the best time to move forward before the new pricing becomes standard.
Why Solar Carports Will Also Be Affected
Solar carports in particular are affected because they combine multiple imported components:
- structural mounting materials
- panels
- inverters
- battery systems (optional)
- cabling and electrical equipment
When the costs of these components rise, the full carport package rises with it.
As demand continues to increase globally, carport systems are already becoming a premium product — and these changes will accelerate that trend.
How B-Energy Is Preparing
At B-Energy, we saw this coming early.
To protect our customers as much as possible, we have already secured additional inventory and increased our stock levels. This proactive planning allows us to continue offering competitive pricing for a limited period while the market adjusts.
What we’ve done:
✅ Purchased extra stock in advance
✅ Secured key components early
✅ Prepared upcoming shipments ahead of schedule
✅ Planned around supply chain and shipping delays
This means that customers who act soon may still benefit from current pricing before the upcoming changes take full effect.
Limited Window: Current Pricing Won’t Last Forever
Although we have extra stock available, it is not unlimited — and once that inventory is sold, future orders will reflect the new import costs.
We strongly recommend customers who are already planning a solar installation or upgrade to:
📌 Request a quote soon
📌 Lock in pricing where possible
📌 Secure system reservations early
Our Commitment Moving Forward
Even with these global pricing shifts, B-Energy remains committed to:
- providing high-quality solar and battery solutions
- keeping pricing as stable as possible
- offering the best value for money in Aruba and the region
- ensuring fast availability and reliable support
We will continue working closely with suppliers and logistics partners to reduce unnecessary cost increases and keep solar energy accessible for our community.
Final Thoughts
The cancellation of export rebates is a major international shift, and it will have a real effect on the cost of solar systems, batteries, and solar carport solutions in the coming months.
However, B-Energy is prepared.
With extra inventory already secured, we are in a strong position to help customers install solar sooner, avoid sudden price jumps, and continue investing in clean energy with confidence.
If you have been thinking about switching to solar — now is the time.
