Deductions & credits

You must reduce the basis of your home by the amount of any credit allowed.

 

how does a renter do this when the panels would be a leasehold improvement and thus owned by the property owner?  Thus the renter has $0 basis.     the tenant can't "sell" the panels to a subsequent tenant since the tenant doesn't have title.    It would be like a tenant selling the walls to his apartment.
