Qualified solar electric property costs.
Qualified solar electric property costs are
costs for property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for
use in your home located in the United States. No costs relating to a
solar panel or other property installed as a roof (or portion thereof)
will fail to qualify solely because the property constitutes a
structural component of the structure on which it is installed. The home
doesn't have to be your main home.
