When Arizona consumers buy solar- or wind-power-generating equipment, they don’t pay sales taxes on it. This exemption, coupled with Arizona’s solar and wind equipment property tax exemption, means consumers don’t pay any taxes on such equipment. Add that to the various tax credits offered to purchasers of solar and wind devices, and you’ve got some compelling reasons to go for it. Consumers should note, though, that although state sales tax (which makes up the bulk of the tax amount) is exempted, any city sales tax may not be.
Again, there’s no maximum on this. If consumers buy the equipment, there’s no sales tax—simple as that.
