@lsfinn the tax credit is 30% of the cost; labor is not part of the credit calculation. And the maximum non-refundable credit is $1200.
the credit is considered a 'non-refundable credit'. In other words, the credit is 30% of your cost, but no more than the lesser of $1200 or Form 1040 / Line 22 before applying the credit.
Also, be mindful the credit expires on 12/31/25, You must have installed the material no later than this date to qualify for the credit. The credit is not available in the 2026 tax year.
