About this incentive
New York City passed Resolution 1121 in August 2005 (effective December 1, 2005) to exempt residential solar energy systems equipment and services from sales tax. As a city with a population of 1 million or more, New York City had to pass this resolution in order to offer the same exemption as the state.
