Deductions & credits

You can only claim the solar energy credit once. 


As a blanket statement, that is not true.  You can only claim the credit once for each system you install, but there is no barrier in the law to claiming a second credit if you install a second system.  For example, in 2022 you install a system on your house, and in 2023, you install a second system on your detached garage or detached mother-in-law apartment.

 

However in this specific case, I believe this would be viewed as a repair of the existing system and not installation of a new system, so not eligible.
