The Government of Saint Lucia has proposed a five-year VAT zero-rating on a wide range of solar energy equipment, including solar panels, mounts, inverters, deep-cycle batteries, cables and control devices. The measure, effective from August 2, 2026 to August 1, 2031, is intended to make renewable energy more affordable, reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels, and lower the cost of living and doing business.
