oppose HB 1002 because municipalities should retain the option to exempt residential solar from property taxes. These local solar tax exemptions are not mandates—they are choices made by towns because they benefit their communities. They encourage residents to invest in clean, locally produced energy, help stabilize long-term household energy costs, and support local installers and small businesses. These incentives help support solar power, which reduces strain on the electric grid, and align with local climate, resilience, and energy goals. Repealing this law would harm homeowners, communities, and New Hampshire’s clean energy economy. Please oppose this bill.
