Tax and Financial Incentives for Alternative Energy Systems in the State of Washington





In Washington State, tax does not apply to the sales of equipment used to generate electricity from wind, sun, or landfill gas, and with the passage of HB 1859 in 2001, fuel cells. The tax exemption applies to labor and services related to installation of the equipment, as well as to sales of equipment and machinery. Eligible systems are those with a generating capacity of at least 200 watts.
