Solar industry officials see hope that a property tax will not hit the solar leasing market in Arizona as expected, citing discussions with the governor and lawmakers.
The solar rooftop leasing industry had scheduled a protest at the state Capitol on Wednesday to oppose property taxes on leased solar panels that could kick in later this year. But the protest has been cancelled.
“Due to the progress that has been made with preventing a tax increase on tens of thousands of solar users in Arizona, we are postponing the protest,” said Jason Rose, a spokesman for a group called called TUSK, or “Tell Utilities Solar won’t be Killed.”
“We certainly are reserving the right to return in numbers in the future,” he said.
