2. "Geothermal heating and cooling technology" means a pump system that uses onsite geothermal energy for heating or cooling.
3. "graphene supercapacitor battery" means a fast-charging green technology source for clean energy storage that can perform for up to twenty-five years with no degradation, that is capable of cycling four times a day and that is projected to provide up to fifty thousand life cycles.
4. "Solar module" means a module that is used to supply electrical current from solar energy to a housing unit during the day while storing watts as backup for the night hours.
5. "solar well and water pump" means a solar-powered well and water pump that are used to deliver water with no fossil fuels to power the pump.
6. "suber cork" means an exterior coating system created by high grade raw cork and water-based acrylic resin that is used for insulation with a low level of water transmission.
Sec. 2. Delayed repeal
Section 41-3955.03, Arizona Revised Statutes, as added by this act, is repealed from and after December 31, 2028."
