California Solar Laws

California has adopted a number of laws that promote solar energy technologies. Below are summaries of the existing laws and links to the actual California Code language. The following is provided for information purposes only and it is recommended that interested parties consult with an attorney to determine the applicability of any of the listed solar laws.

Property Tax Exemption for Solar Energy Equipment
Section 73 of the Revenue and Taxation Code exempts from property taxes the value of solar energy equipment. For example, if you install a photovoltaic system worth $24,000 and your assessed property value is increased by that same amount, you do not have to pay property taxes on the incremental $24,000 in value attributable to the photovoltaic system.

California Solar Rights Act
Section 714 of the Civil Code was enacted in 1978 to ensure that any covenant, restriction, or condition contained in any deed or other contractual restriction, which affects the sale or value of real property, does not limit the installation or use of a solar energy system.

The U.S. Department of Energy has published a report to help homeowners understand their right to install solar in planned communities.

Solar Easement Law
California Civil Code Sections 801 & 801.5 (PDF- 80K) provides for easements to ensure the right to receive sunlight for any solar energy system. Please note that an easement must be in place before a request can be made to address obstacles to sunlight.

California Solar Shade Control Act
California Public Resource Code Sections 25980-25986 provides limited protections against shading from vegetation on adjacent properties.
