What is considered an “active solar energy system” for the purposes of the property tax exclusion?
An “active solar energy system” is a system that uses solar devices, which are thermally isolated from living space or any other area where the energy is used, to provide for the collection, storage, or distribution of solar energy. An “active solar energy system” does not include solar swimming pool or hot tub heaters. For more information contact the San Diego County Assessor/Recorder/County Clerk at (858) 505-6262.
