Puerto Rico - Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Solar Equipment

Puerto Rican law exempts from the sales and use tax solar electric equipment, associated accessories, and components used to produce electrical energy. Distributors or manufacturers must submit a certification to the Departamento de Hacienda (Puerto Rico's Department of Revenue) declaring that the solar electric equipment and associated components comply with the norms and specifications established by the Energy Affairs Administration (EAA). In addition, distributors or manufacturers must provide certification that the solar equipment is guaranteed for at least five years.
