Unfortunately, the solar credit is a credit against federal income tax, not self-employment tax (which ends up going to the Social Security Administration).
I doubt that the solar panel salespeople understand the difference. And no one should take tax advice from solar panel salespeople or roofers and anyone who is not a tax professional. Hopefully you will make a lot of money in 2020 so you can use the credit.
