Florida sales tax exemption for solar energy systems open

Administered by the Florida Department of Revenue, under section 212.08(7)(hh) of the Florida Statutes.

Solar energy systems and their components are exempt from Florida sales and use tax, with no end date: solar collectors, photovoltaic power conditioning equipment, energy storage units, pumps and controls. You sign a certificate for the seller saying the equipment is for a solar energy system.

A second tax break goes with it

The value solar adds to a home is also left out of its property tax assessment, under section 193.624. Neither pays you anything: Florida has no state solar rebate, and the federal credit ended with 2025.
