Warehouse operators are taking a second, harder look at the benefits they hope to reap up on the rooftop. Solar-power installations are a hot topic in the industrial real-estate sector, as developers and tenants look to cut emissions and slash energy costs by putting the vast, open space to use. The WSJ Logistics Report’s Liz Young writes there are headwinds to the technology, however, as companies gain experience with the industrial-scale projects and find the costs and benefits don’t always make sense. Matt Schlindwein of Greek Real Estate Partners says the installations are expensive, and that energy costs in some states may actually exceed traditional electricity expenses. The solar panels also add maintenance concerns, including the potential for damage to rooftops. The calculations are part of the tough scrutiny more energy projects are getting as companies look at how to reduce emissions without damaging their balance sheets.

U.S. efforts to bar Chinese clean-energy imports are increasingly bumping against the Biden administration’s push to build out renewable-energy infrastructure. The White House this month allowed duties aimed at China-based manufacturers of solar panels to take effect just as the International Trade Commission gave its initial go-ahead to an antidumping petition backed by some U.S. solar manufacturers. The WSJ’s Phred Dvorak reports the moves, along with others that raise tariffs on green products such as batteries and electric vehicles, represent some of the strongest attempts yet to wean the U.S. off clean-energy supply chains dominated by Beijing. But the U.S. still relies on imported solar components, and some industry executives say developers now are pausing panel acquisitions, pushing back work timelines and bracing for higher costs. That in turn threatens the fast rollout of renewable energy needed for the U.S. to hit ambitious clean-energy and climate goals.
