As long as it is a dollar amount.
So you'll scroll down in the income section of your federal return and find 'Business Items' and click start next to 'Business Income and Expenses (Sch C)'. Then you will follow all the prompts and answer the questions. You will enter the electricity value as cash that you received. Then you will enter the information about your solar panels as a business asset. You will have to depreciate it over 39 years. So you will deduct 1/39th of the value each year. As long as that is greater than the value of the electricity that you are selling to the utility then you will have a loss every year.
