Additional Upper Pressure on Solar System Pricing

Beginning July 1, 2019, out of state vendors are required to collect sales tax on orders shipped to solar contractors in Virginia, as a result of the United States Supreme Court's ruling in Wayfair v. South Dakota and subsequent changes in sales tax laws in Virginia. This will push up the cost for solar modules, inverters, racking, and other solar system parts ordered from out of state suppliers by 4.3% to 7%, depending on the locality in Virginia where the parts will be shipped to.
