Active solar energy system new construction exclusion (property tax, Revenue and Taxation Code section 73)
Amount varies
California doesn't count adding an active solar energy system, such as rooftop solar, as new construction for property tax, so installing one doesn't raise your assessed value. Under current law the exclusion applies to systems that qualify before January 1, 2027; systems already excluded stay excluded until the property changes ownership.
