If the panels were installed in 2023 then you can enter the total cost including installation on your 2023 tax return. You will receive a tax credit of 30% of your cost. If the credit reduces your 2023 tax liability to zero, an remaining credit will be carried forward. You cannot claim the ongoing payments you are making.
