Following the post  regarding "business ethics" there is a question of "to good to be true". We have a "range" of hardware that's below the uk market price leading to doubts  by buyers.  see post:

RenewSolar a Scam or frugal? — RenewSolar

historically we upped prices  which "restored the faith" and drove up sales. what do you think??

Prices are rising:
China is doing away in part with tax relief.

China injected funds into business and industry in China post pandemic, to help the country economic recovery, this has lead to gluts and some over production in some markets, and china is addressing this by reducing incentives.

This means that prices for solar are going up. not just solar panels, but also  batteries and other goods too.
you are looking at around 4% rise, which may add up on most supply chains to appear to be a price rise of around 10%.~
This  rise in cost in china is compounded by embargos and politics as you may have heard in the news, as we move past Feb into march the UK government is going to raise costs too. this means that from April ( which its always before) we will see a double rise as we have done most years.

Like most stealth taxes, the cost of imports will go up, am the other costs that are added that most consumers do not know about, such as heavy oil duties, docking taxes. environmental tax, decanting charge, unloading charges and the list goes on and on.

we will try to keep customers up to date, as well as prices, but we will NOT LONG warrant the prices on the website or charges and costs incurred for the next 3 months.
