@CA Solar Expert and @BMcCalpin Thank you for your logical and well-reasoned answers. They are very comprehensive and well thought out. I personally agree and have saved myself some research time and effort. It is incredibly helpful to know that the verbiage in question from the 5695 instructions that is being used by many to justify a roof as eligible credit costs comes directly from the code under the section "Solar Panels." Re-reading the code and the instructions after making that connection of context, I am 100% on board with your conclusions and would have drawn them myself. So thanks again.
