Solar Energy Exemption

 

The 2014 Town Meeting adopted an article providing for the exemption from property taxes of the assessed value of certain solar related equipment.

Per RSA 72:61,a  “solar energy” means a system which utilizes solar energy to heat or cool the interior of a building or to heat water for use in a building and which includes one or more collectors and a storage container. “Solar energy” also means a system which provides electricity for a building by use of photovoltaic panels.

This vote continues the Town’s current practice of not increasing home valuation due to solar installation.
