No.  This amount should be entered as 'Other Income' on your 1040 and not subject to self-employment tax.  Since it is not business income you can't deduct expenses from it.

 

In addition you already deducted the full value of the solar panels when you got a solar panel tax credit in the year that you had them installed.  Deducting them again would be double dipping.
