Rhode Island Solar Energy Property Tax Exemption
State of Rhode Island
About This Program
The Grant Map catalogs Rhode Island Solar Energy Property Tax Exemption in its East Providence, RI research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.
Rhode Island law exempts the added value of solar energy systems from local property taxes. Homeowners who install solar panels will not see their property tax increase due to the added home value from the solar installation.
