I would agree to the roof repairs but only to the extra costs incurred if the roof needs to be “beefed up” to handle the extra weight but not if it just puts the roof back in ordinary working order.
I disagree based on the changes to the instructions to form 5695 starting in 2018, see my other comment.
This is also in agreement with section 25D, which says in relevant part "No expenditure related to a solar panel" will fail to qualify for the credit if it is also structural. The roof deck is not a solar panel.
