SUBJECT TO REPEAL

Florida Law exempts from sales and use tax solar energy systems and all components of such

systems. Previously set for repeal on July 1, 2005, the exemption's repeal date has been removed

under an amendment to the law by the 2005 Florida Legislature. Accordingly, the exemption is no

longer subject to an expiration date.

The term "solar energy system" means the equipment and requisite hardware that provide and are

used for collecting, transferring, converting, storing, or using incidental solar energy for water

heating, space heating and cooling, or other applications that would otherwise require the use of a

conventional source of energy such as petroleum products, natural gas, manufactured gas, or

electricity.
