Tax Exemptions for Solar and Geothermal

There are so many environmental reasons to use solar and geothermal systems for your electric and heating needs. But to make it even more appealing Connecticut offers a Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Solar and Geothermal Systems

This exemption applies to Solar Water Heat, Solar Space Heat, Photovoltaics, Geothermal Heat Pumps, Geothermal resource systems, and other Distributed Generation Technologies. This mean you pay exactly 0% of the sales tax on the systems you purchase. Its like getting 10% off the system. 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.
