Hello Fellow Taxpayers, I'm not convinced about the Reply from CindyOH. I can see that some forms of repair or maintenance would not be covered, as they do not include 'original installation' of any solar energy items. However, if an inverter is replaced, then I think it would be a correct interpretation to say that the replacement inverter is a solar energy item that is originally installed in the year that the replacement occurs, and thus would be covered. If we are only going by the IRS i5695 instructions, this seems to me to be the most logical interpretation. Is there any source of clarification beyond the instructions? I've done a rather thorough search of the internet just now, 11/16/2022, and can't find any mention, one way or the other? Does anybody know more? Thanks
