Texas Tax Codes Related to Renewable Energy Systems A franchise tax exemption is extended to manufacturers, sellers, or installers of solar energy devices. Additionally, the state allows for a corporate deduction from the state s franchise tax for renewable energy sources. Business owners can deduct the total cost of the system from the company s taxable capital or take 10 percent of the system s cost off the company s income. The state also offers a 100 percent property tax exemption on the appraised value of an on-site solar, wind or biomass power generating device. Additionally, there are three economic development credits for which a corporation may qualify. Eligible corporations may take advantage of these credits for certain research and development expenses and payments incurred, for qualified capital investments or expenditures made, or for certain new jobs created in Texas on or after January 1, See publication , Franchise Tax Credits for Economic Development for additional information on these credits. Texas Tax Code (TTC) Section and TTC Section concern exemptions and credits available under Texas franchise tax for a limited liability company (LLC) engaged in renewable energy such as solar/wind power.
