Your solar lights qualify for the Residential Clean Energy Credit not the Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit. According to the form 5695 Instructions, the Residential Clean Energy Credit is..."a credit of 30% of your costs of qualified solar electric property...," Further, "Qualified solar electric property costs are costs for property that uses solar energy to generate electricity for use in your home located in the United States."
In the Home Energy Credits topic you will answer "Yes" to the "Residential Clean Energy" improvements question and enter the cost as "Solar Electric Property" costs.
