Ok, I called a tax place, and they told me that if I do a standard deduction it won't count my solar tax credit, have to itemize to put that to use.


Whomever you spoke with is incorrect.  Whether you use the Standard Deduction or Itemized Deduction (Form 1040 Line 9) is not relevant to the Residential energy credits.  The credit is from Form 5695 and the amount of the credit flows to Schedule 3 Line 5.  The total from Schedule 3 flows to Form 1040 Line 13b.
