Summary:
Connecticut enacted legislation in June 2007 (HB 7432) that established a sales and use tax exemption for solar energy equipment and geothermal resource systems. (Geothermal heat pumps had previously been exempted from the state's sales and use tax, but the exemption was set to expire on June 30, 2007.) HB 7432 added passive and active solar water-heating systems, passive and active solar space-heating systems, and solar-electric systems to the list of exempt technologies. The exemption includes equipment related to eligible systems, and sales of services relating to the installation of eligible systems. The exemption has no expiration date.
Tax form (CERT-140) is available on the Connecticut Department of Revenue Services website.
