California is on the verge of charging solar owners a new property tax next year
If state lawmakers don’t act now, many California solar owners could face higher property taxes in 2027. A higher property tax could be triggered if you:
Add a battery to your existing solar system
Add more solar panels on your roof
Install a new rooftop solar system
Please tell your
state legislators:
A solar property tax makes no sense
The government should not make energy more expensive than it already is.
Besides, putting rooftop solar on your home doesn’t add costs to your city or county.
In fact, rooftop solar reduces strain on the electrical grid, preventing blackouts.
State lawmakers must pass AB 2389 (Irwin) this year to stop the Solar Property Tax.
If they don't act, then solar owners across California could get hit with higher property taxes in 2017.
If legislators don't act, then solar owners across California could get hit with higher property taxes in 2027.
For 40 years, the state Legislature has ensured that your property taxes won’t go up if you put solar on your roof or a battery in your garage. [1]
However, that protection will expire by the end of the year.
The Legislature must act now to extend the solar property tax exemption by passing AB 2389 (Irwin).

[1] In 1980, California voters passed Proposition 7, which amended the state constitution to say the following: “The Legislature may provide that the term “newly constructed” shall not include the construction or addition of any active solar energy system.” (see Article 13A, Section 2). The Legislature has kept that tax exemption language in law ever since, but it is about to expire at the end of 2026. ↑
