Am I able to take the 30% federal tax credit for putting solar panels on a rental property I own?

Does replacing the roof at the same time qualify for a 30% tax credit?

No, the credit is only for your residence.  Solar panels installed on a rental are not eligible.  If it is a duplex (or more) and part of it is your residence, you can get a proportional credit.

There is no energy credit for rental property.
