Sales Tax Exemption (Solar)
A state law exempting the purchase of solar energy equipment from state and local sales tax. Over 25 states provide full or partial solar sales tax exemptions.
Why It Matters
In states with 6-10% sales tax, the exemption saves $1,500-2,500 on a typical residential solar system. It is automatic at purchase — no paperwork required.
