Overview
This bill extends a property tax exclusion for active solar energy systems installed by customers and public entities through 2031. Currently, these systems are exempt from being considered ‘newly constructed’ for tax purposes. The bill clarifies the definition of ‘customer-sited’ and ‘public entity customer’ and includes provisions for how initial purchasers of new buildings with solar systems can claim the exclusion. It also addresses reimbursement for lost property tax revenue and mandates reporting on the program's effectiveness.
