Iowa’s tax laws exempt purchasers of wind and solar systems from sales tax. This includes tax exemptions for the total cost of wind energy equipment and all materials used to manufacture, install, or construct wind energy systems.
The statutes originally only applied to wind equipment, but were expanded to solar equipment in 2006.
