Spain has already taken action on this issue. It isn't good action either.

This popped up in Michigan a couple of years ago: Property tax on off grid energy collectors

I believe a possible solution in Michigan is to place the solar panels onto flatbed trailers, changing them from real property to personal property. Michigan eliminated the personal property tax a couple of years ago, and despite persistent budget problems, the state looks more likely to increase sales taxes or other regressive taxes before reinstating the personal property tax.

Seriously Rick? Seriously? You might as well just read this tiny ad:
